Today’s Thought 💭 Lately I’ve been wondering… is reciprocity something you find in people, or something you set the standard for?

Have I just come to the realisation love is not looking for me? I feel like love is not finding me, so would that mean that love is not for me? My whole life I’ve given so much love to people, so caring and loving but I have never had that back.

Part II. And still still you left this desire in me like a jewel hidden in a wound. Why? Why give me a love that feels like both blessing and blasphemy, both salvation and self‑destruction? Why make me a man who can kiss another man and feel the universe rearrange itself into something unbearably honest, yet still look in the mirror and flinch? God, I know you love me. I know this because you made me too carefully for it to be an accident. You carved this longing into me with the precision of a sculptor who refuses to apologize for beauty. So why why do I hate myself for it with such theatrical devotion? Why does the holiness you gave me feel like a sin when I hold it in my own hands? I am tired of praying for a different version of myself. I am tired of bargaining with a God who already said yes the moment He made me.

Part III. So here I am, kneeling in this absurd heaven, surrounded by angels who pretend not to stare, finally whispering the truth I was too afraid to offer you: I am yours. All of me. Even the parts I tried to burn. Even the love I tried to starve. Even the man I tried to kill in the name of purity. If this is who I am, then let it be holy. If this is who I am, then let it be enough. And if this is who I am because you loved me into existence then God, teach me how to love myself with even a fraction of the tenderness you used to make me.

My life is full in so many ways—creative, expansive, exciting. But I really value what romance adds to it. I miss that feeling. I miss being met, being chosen, being in something that feels intentional and alive. I don’t need love to complete my life, but I deeply enjoy who I am when I’m experiencing it. So I think the only thing I’m holding onto right now is this: I hope my heart stays open and ready to receive it when it finds me again.

While making this collection I was really struggling with, the fact that my skills are not where I want them to be. Especially since these designs required more from me than I could give. Since I’m in my third year of fashion school, mentally I do feel like that, but objectively I can see that my skills are not what I would expect from a third year… this is mostly bc my school provided me the bare minimum required basic skills and knowledge, and just keeps pushing us into these projects. I learned most of what I knew at that time from youtube videos and just doing the work. I am a very critical of my own work, but I think can cut myself a bit of slack since I did sew both outfits in 9 days… Oh well I hope you guys like the pictures <<333

‘Pillion’ was the most problematic movie I’ve seen in a long time. A portrayal of a non-consensual, abusive relationship, disguised as a kink relationship.. what a let down honestly.

Where do I Begin? If my words sheltered your heart, And my art blinded the world. Couldn’t we stay this way, Never giving more than we choose. Bringing back the tears in my eyes, And the smile I painfully denied. It isn’t each rose but the very last petal, It shouldn’t be the last straw just the first sip. I couldn’t bare the tall tales, But I knew it would be a quick end.

How do you handle constant rejection within the gay community, especially on dating apps? It feels impossible to even get past a ”hello” with most people nowadays. It’s kinda hard not taking it personally, at the same time I don’t bother chatting with people I’m not interested in so I kinda feel like a hypocrite, lol. Not really a question or a point, just a reflection.
