A year after coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community, JoJo Siwa is still feeling the love.

The 18-year-old singer, actor and YouTube superstar commemorated her 1-year anniversary of living as her true self and shared a few thoughts on her personal evolution since then in an emotional Instagram post over the weekend.

In the last 365 days Ive felt more love than ever, she wrote, alongside a series of photos that included her recent People cover story . I get asked a lot was coming out scary for you and the answer is yes of course, anything thats different about you is scary, however its what makes me me.

Siwa, originally from Nebraska, has cultivated a massive following of millions of young fans via YouTube , Instagram and TikTok. In 2020, Time magazine included her on its list of 100 most influential people in the world.

She first addressed her sexuality on Instagram Live in January of last year, noting at the time that she was really happy to be a part of the LGBTQ community but did not align herself with a traditional label.

In September, she told The New York Times that she identifies herself as queer, because it covers it, and its cute.
