THE ADVOCACY FOR THE AWKWARD PHASE If you ever want to master anything, you have to go through the awkward phase. Even with something as simple as growing your hair, there’s an awkward phase before it fully evolves and blossoms into what you envisioned. The awkward phase has never phased me as much as it […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR NOT BELIEVING FEELINGS Everyone has experienced the phenomenon of deep resistance to get up from bed, only to find that once up, it was easier than anticipated, but despite this realization, the resistance continues to fool us. I was resisting writing this diary entry and I was ready to share some lyrics […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR AFFIRMATIONS I like to consider the mind to be a sensitive place that deserves the utmost care. Emotions can get really heavy, and because they feel so overwhelming, it’s easy to forget that they are thoughts and imaginations translated into uncomfortable energy in the body. This discomfort often compels us to overthink, […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR MEDITATION I started meditating around 10 years ago, but I learned about it a bit before that. I grew up in a Baptist church and I considered myself Christian for awhile, but I then decided to leave religion in high school, and that’s when I discovered eastern philosophies and it really resonated […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR UNNECESSARY SEX SCENES Every now and then, I will go on Twitter or X and find someone complaining about sex scenes or nudity in a film, deeming them unnecessary. I like to imagine a future where a sex scene or nudity in a film is viewed in the same light as a […]

Real life never made […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR MUSCLE There’s a cycle that comes when you are learning new things. First, you see the thing you want to learn, you’re super inspired by it and you want to know what it would be like if you could do it yourself, and dependent on how much you resonated with that thing, […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR LAUGHTER Laughing is almost a default state for me; it is my favorite thing to do. No matter what happens in life, you can always find your way back to laughter. It’s a soft orgasm. Often, I laugh without reason, and though I think of reasons why you should laugh, you shouldn’t […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR D.I.Y When I first started doing photography, I used to watch a lot of behind-the-scenes videos, and they were incredibly misleading. I felt like I needed the fanciest equipment, the largest teams, and so much more. At one point, especially when I was doing fashion photography, I did get all of that. […]

THE ADVOCACY FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE I have a theory that if humans collectively decided to start cultivating the belief of “human flight”, we will be levitating or flying within the next few generations. One of my favorite things to do is read out-of-the-ordinary stories about people who go against all odds and heal themselves from […]
