The thing I'm proudest of is probably like any sort of work I've done in the LGBTQ space.
I think I realize now I was really, really scared to express myself through fashion or certain music or certain TV shows. I was petrified that anyone would ever think I was gay god forbid, and so, once I got over that I kind of could just let myself be.
I didn't realize how much me hiding my sexuality also meant that I hid a lot of just my identity as a person.
The only thing that really goes through my head when I'm picking out an outfit is, do I feel cool and cute. I try as much as I can to push out any worry about what anyone else is gonna think and just kinda focus on, do I think this is cool.
Let yourself be the person you've secretly always wanted to be
If I want to be remembered as anything in this life it's just 'nice'.I feel like being nice to others is the coolest thing anyone can be.
I call it viewing from afar, they call it stalking.
The thing that I really want to try and do is just live my life really openly and honestly. I think there's so much power in that, as simple as it is.
Sharing is caring, but I don't care.
I genuinely love you all and the fact that some of you are not feeling so great at the moment really really upsets me.
I was definitely scared of fashion growing up just because I didn't want people to think I was gay. But now that I'm out, I feel like it's such a personal journey for me that I'm going on every single day where I feel more and more confident and comfortable to wear the clothes that I want to wear, and to have the interest that I have, and to paint my nails if I want to.
I'm angry because homophobia is still a thing...
I love you as much as I love Nutella.
What kind of sick person would answer rainbows?
