Let joy be the memory that carries you / a handful of petals that blooms / from the smallest whisper of your own name 📸: @cajla (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkTe8xBzlv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l64gyknqlybh

a brief reminder from yours, truly. be soft & without doubt today. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsglK4LhY_E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wh66xirl27fs

2018 was such a heavy drag to pull myself out from. I loved the deepest love I had ever known; wherever he is in the world, I hope his life has been kind. This year was definitely the process of cleaning up the mess and falling into grace with an open heart. I may have lost a lot, but I gained such a stronger sense of myself that from here on, nothing will compromise my peace. I had some beautiful performances, shared the bright laughter of my friendships, and even graced the cover of a national magazine (thank you @theadvocatemag). To begin 2019, I have created another life for myself and it’s going to be a good one. I have released all fear & doubt, and forgiven everything that tried to claim me in the dark. Always remember: Your Movement is Your Masterpiece. Now go, move. 📸: @katrinakirkpatrick (at Joshua Tree National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEe7P_BaZY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15942g4xj9zt6

Ever wonder who the gayest nerd was in 1st grade? Ever wonder who placed 3rd in the spelling be that year to two white boys who received easier words like “pipe” while I received words like “friend”? Ever wonder about the boy I was before I grew into sour blood and tired feet and a tug of hearts around my waist like a trail of empty tin cans? Ever wonder how much hope I’d been before? #tbt (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqyIZ8Jhx9k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yjdy0d6xbd1w
