So, I’m wondering... Over the course of my life as a gay man, for whatever reason, I’ve met very few other gay guys who specifically LOVE loud, (s)punky guitar rock. 😎 Have I been hanging around the wrong crowd?! LOL Hands up for guitar rock, boys! Who in this Global Gay Collective likes good ol' Rock & Roll? 🎸 Surely I cant be alone in my passion… or maybe Im just a closet straight guy? 😂😎

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.

Bro, don’t piss me off. There’s this whiney ahh dude I met a few jobs ago who doesn’t have good friends bc he treats them poorly. One of those “I’m gay but also conservative” dolts. I hate being a bully, but it feels like he needs to be hurt.

“I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade. Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy l drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won’t talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend’s parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved, even for a heartbeat.”

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.
