At some point in my life I would like to win a Grammy. I think that would be a good thing to do.
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.
There are people in the world who 1,000% will love you just the way you are. So no matter what, keep that in mind.
I think I have to be aware of how much power words can have. And it makes me consider everything that I say before I say it, because you can really help a lot of people, or you can really, really mess things up.
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.
I think that there is a lot of power in a gay guy having a really (hopefully) successful music career while just being completely openly gay and honest and happy.
Sharing is caring, but I don't care.
I'm so thankful that I have gotten the opportunity to fulfill my life purpose of staying inside on tumblr all day.
