Santiago Maratea’s statement after the death of his father

“I felt like I had to tell you this before I continue uploading videos related to my work. How am I? I don’t know, a little scared, I don’t know what. I feel very alone. Throughout my life I have had many disappointments because I am a person who is quite closed off and finds it hard to trust people. I’m not a big fan of playing the victim or putting myself in the position of: ‘why does everyone betray me?’ But I do have a hard time trusting people because I’ve been betrayed many times, people who loved me very much, who even love me very much. I don’t understand why people who love me very much screw me up so much in life,” he said.

On the other hand, the young man referred to a painful episode of alleged abuse suffered at the hands of one of his “lifelong friends”. “In the middle of the night I woke up with the guy on top of me kissing me, and when I realized what was going on, it was basically over. It was really weird. Two weeks later, I met up with this friend to talk. I wasn’t born in a glass box, I understand that most people go through hell for living in a world like this. I’m not that surprised, but when I met up with this friend to talk, it was worse, worse than what happened, nothing improved. I was disappointed but not surprised. I know that most men don’t work on their sexuality and are afraid to go through the shadows they have inside, but I was talking to another friend, telling him, and I said: ‘I don’t know why these things happen to me,’” he added. Maratea.

He added: “The only two people I knew wouldn’t betray me were my parents. They were my safe place, but now they’re gone, maybe that’s why I feel so alone. I have a huge void in my chest,” he shared.

“I’m going to keep training because it’s good for me and also putting all my energy into my work, which is what fulfills me, what calms me. I don’t expect anything in particular, I do it because it really does me good and I’ll continue with that,” he concluded.
