"If I were single, there could be speculation," Olsen said, "but I was working with a boyfriend. So having that be the first thing that was presented to the world on my platform set me up in this way of just embracing it."
And then TikTok did what it does best: Put the content people didn't know they needed within easy scrolling distance."It was kind of a chosen family," Olsen reflected. "And I'm very grateful to the community I built early on because, after the breakup and becoming a creator of my own, I'd already set up this community of love and acceptance that was able to carry me through. Now I'm able to share myself in a way that feels very authentic and free.
"I still had my people who I was able to connect with a little bit at that time," which was very important, he said, and he stresses that having people you can talk to or identify with is essential, no matter what stage of life's journey you're at, whether they're your born family or the kind you acquire along the way.
"So many people are unknowingly giving back to me the validation that I'm doing something right, that I should keep doing what I'm doing," Olsen said. "It really has given me everything and I just want to continue being able to give back in whatever way I can."
