On the stony cenotaph that today is my heart, the following words are engraved in the white marble. My epitaph to love: “He learned to live by committing small Pathoscides"

Oh no!!! I just found a hat shaping block on Amazon and watched exactly one how to make a hat video (it wasn’t exactly a how to). The ol’ ADHD audacity just kicked in and now I’m a professional hat maker. Watch out Stetson! I coming for you. Haha

I was confident we could be human together. The messy, sometimes sad, tangled in our thoughts humans that we both are. She wondered if together we are too much. If one day, when we both happen to be to be down, perhaps we will stay down. The strength to lift the other up might vanish and we might fall apart together. I felt the need to defend myself. Remind her I am strong, resilient and have seen dark spells on my own and was able to pull myself out of those moods and be there for others at the same time. But I felt weak in that moment. Not because I truly believed I was. I was trying to convince someone I love of something I thought she already knew. I felt not enough in her eyes. Not cut out for her. Not man enough, as a sensitive woman. Not able to hold and protect her the way she craves. Would she prefer more of a stoic brute who doesn’t feel so deeply? Who could hold her pain quietly while stuffing his own down, until it emerged in uglier ways? Her doubts ignited my fire to prove myself, my worth, my strength, but her hesitation clung to me anyway in a dull, aching way.

Thought this was pretty funny. When I was younger I heard that a Lot if not most of the fashion designers were gay. And I remember thinking “okay, sure, why not. But also, why?” Well look at me now, gay and altering/designing sewing patterns to make my own coat!

My problem is I think I’m both hilarious and hot, even tho my dating history (or lack there of) would suggest otherwise.

So there are literally no cool parties anymore in London? I understand there’s “feel it” but it’s closed in this period! And why everyone in heaven is underage or a straight woman?! 🥲

RANDOM THOUGHTS #9 "I should be paid by Grindr for reporting all of these scam profiles and keeping their app clean, while being disrespected by most of the real users on there. Maybe it's time to delete this app once and for all. ... should I get a dog instead?"

The best part of working out when it's freezing outside is the walk back home, you're so hot and warm from exercising that the walk doesn't feel bad!

Before he died, he wanted to listen to Depeche Mode. Have you ever wondered who you would have been in the 90s? Where you would have danced, who you would have loved, what you would have survived, as a gay man. Today I read that scientists in Amsterdam have successfully used CRISPR to cut HIV out of infected cells. Completely. A clean incision through decades of fear. A disease that didn’t just kill bodies but it erased futures. Around one in nine of us. Friends. Lovers. Mentors. Men who should still be here. So this isn’t just a scientific victory. It’s a moment of light breaking through a long, dark corridor. Let’s honour the era. The music. The rooms where we learned to touch, to resist, to exist. And let’s remember those who didn’t make it to see this day while Depeche Mode plays softly in the background.
