⏳What would you say to your younger self? — When I sing, it’s like time travel. This challenge to master Nessun Dorma in a mere 30 days is actually my attempt to be the person I needed when I was younger.
Back in high school, people saw a student excelling in everything. Outwardly, everything was fine. But inside, I battled a relentless critic. Hiding who I was, I believed that maybe, if I was exceptional enough, people would overlook that fact that I was gay. Music was my gift, but it wasn’t an escape. I pushed myself, never allowing the raw, free brilliance to (literally) come out.
Singing this piece isn’t merely a performance; it’s a declaration of freedom and self-acceptance, demanding a vulnerability and openness I had previously denied myself. When I sing, it feels like time travel. I am finally giving myself that nurturing and supportive voice I always needed.

[AD] 😭 I got drama with Mama y’all. Specifically, K-DRAMA. The calls for K-gossip are non stop! I’m gonna show you how I’ll get organized using the new Microsoft Outlook for Windows app. Link in my bio and guess what? It's FREE!#MicrosoftPartner @Microsoft 365
🛳️Come to my first opera lesson! Did not expect it to be a workout.
I’ve set myself a thrilling challenge: learn to sing the legendary Nessun Dorma in just 30 days! I used to sing in high school, but let’s just say it’s been a while and I’m pretty rusty now, especially with those high notes and Italian pronunciations. Finding a mentor was tough, but then I reconnected with an old pal, Casey Baker @stein4477 , a brilliant pianist and teacher. He’s totally on board to help me chase this wild dream.
Stay tuned for updates!

😭OMG Y’ALL WE DID IT—mama is happily walking and watching KDramas now!
Thanks y’all. It’s been so fun trying to see what I can do on tiktok live, and during this experiment, I think I found a hobby that’s fun and also helps the people around me!
I also want to talk about finding joy on the way to my goals. In the past, I didn’t think there was any room for joy and fun on the way to something I really wanted. I always hollowed myself out to get there. It was all grit, force, and friction.
I would get to my achievement and realize I no longer knew how to have fun 😔.
It’s funny because anything I ever wanted was because I wanted to feel a sense of freedom, self-determination, and satisfaction. By the time I achieved that goal, I’ve already built myself a new prison. All in efforts to get to that goal.
It’s never been worth it. People say you gotta sacrifice today to get to tomorrow. That’s never been worth it.
With my content I break this curse. Discipline AND fun! Baking joy in the process! All of it! I will practice joy on the way to everything I’ve ever wanted! and I’m bringing my people with me.

🥵How to close a bag without a clip!—I’m a genius tbh
👷BACK ON MY BUTCH ERA—replacing a light switch!
This annoying little fader has been broken for YEARS to the point where it has so many quirks there are two signs explaining how it works.
Well lucky for my parents, I’be been chaotically trying random things and one of them was a basic electrician’s class.
The biggest part I learned about was safety. Gotta respect the dangers of it all but once you confirm there’s no electric current, the rest is like following industry standards.
I do not claim to know everything, but I have seen some dopey electricians in my life, and I was not convinced they had more special agility than I had. Now I know most of of it is tools, precaution and an understanding of code and standards!
Woo! Self discovery! Self determination! Help ur self and ur parents finally fix that annoying thing!!!!!!

🧐 It’s strange. I have good friends and we do fun things together. But even with all that, I feel a bit numb in between. I’m not upset about it, and I don’t feel bad for feeling this way. It’s just how it is right now.
When I feel like this, I remind myself, “You can’t steer a parked car.” That saying helps me remember that sometimes, clarity comes through action.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why I feel this way. But thinking hasn’t really helped me find answers. It’s like going in circles in my head, never really getting anywhere. I guess it’s not always about figuring things out by thinking hard about them. Sometimes, you just are where you are, and that’s okay.
I’m not in a rush to change things, to try new stuff or make big plans. Maybe I’m entering another cycle of just trying different things, little by little, to see what feels right. Maybe something will stick, maybe it won’t. For now, that’s okay with me. I’ll just take it one step at a time.
