You’ll end up living in Miami and South Beach as a Secret Service Agent months after that birthday, with your first boyfriend. You can reread that last part if you need to, but it’s real and it happens.

You’ll Live The Life of Your Dreams: A Gay Man Addresses His Younger Self

About the wild journey that lies ahead.

I'm 54 years old, I've had a very privileged life (white, male, straight, British, middle class, great beard) yet I still get panic attacks, like I just did.

They started when I was separating from my ex-wife, which was a period of emotional pain, low self esteem, abusing alcohol and economic hardship. They take the form of hyper exhausting, overwhelming deja vu. But now it's a couple of times a year, if I'm stressed, rather than a month. #ItGetsBetter #YoureNotAlone

Dear Youngs, it used to be so much fun. You deserve that too.

Hang in there. #music #90s #itgetsbetter

It is becoming increasingly harder to imagine that things will get better.

If you’re struggling with this as well, let me be the one to try to give you a glimpse of hope: things WILL get better. I’m not saying this just out of optimism or delusion, I’m saying this with relative certainty, because we’ve been here before!

Hopeless, tired, sad, angry… that’s how I’ve been feeling these past few months. From the constant targeting of trans people, to the fearmongering of the right-wing parties who are now blaming queer…

Always a good reminder.

So go. Go look in the mirror right now, if you've been struggling, and tell yourself it's ok to be queer. Love yourself. And if you need someone to talk to, slide on into my DMs, I'm here for you, you beautiful queer superhero.

Much love.

Be gay, do crime.
