)’(🔥 Burning Man 2K16

Unreal that it’s been ten years since journeying home to the dust for the first time. T’was the year of our Lordt 2016. My numerological year of 9️⃣. The start of Saturn’s Return🪐 Post quitting my desk job and gogo-ing at the clerb every weekend. Living a double life and allowing it all to crash and converge and reshape itself. Camp Catification. A renaissance in the dust. New friends. New perspectives. New ways of being. Art. Immediacy. Music. All nighters. Ceremony. Tears in the Temple. Flames. Dust in every crevice of my soul. Radical self reliance. Deep human connection. The magical and bumpy bike ride out to deep playa to this song. Tajin. The way daytime dust turns over to midnight mayhem and lights. Synchronicity. Sacrifice. Picklebacks. 111222333444. Grief. Love. Loss. Gain. Sunrise sets. Disco porta potties. Bikers Butt. Leave no trace. Imagination. Civic responsibility. The desire to bring lessons back to the default and integrate. Decompression.
Words continue to fall out but fall short of encapsulating the experience of each micro and macro moment, but here’s to reminiscing and appreciating✨
Forever the biggest thanks to Mamma Chel & Papì Fritas for helping facilitate my very first voyage and curating such a wonderful krew of kittens.😻
Sending all my love to those back )’(ome this week and some extra to the ones that made my virgin burn the best.😭

P.S. I don’t usually yell on here buttttt - if you are at the Burn right now - GET OFF YOUR FUCKING PHONE AND LIVE✌️💗

Time is dancing. Tell your people you love them. Give the flowers up front. Let ‘em know how proud you are. In pursuit of your goals, always make time for the ones who love you most.

If you dive too deep in the wrong direction, this timeline can seem helpless. It can get better, it can get worse, I don’t have the answers. But I do know that savoring your joy is the most important thing you can do.

Guess I felt like crying today, join me. 🧡

LIB and all its magic 💫 nothing will ever top the year @yayfuncatherine and I grabbed our pillows and blankets and slept in the limo… but this year didn’t disappoint. After years of working festivals with @maicrowaves it was our first time we got to play together. There is no better place than mixtape on a Monday morning, although I am certain I could spend the entire weekend there and not feel like I missed out. Until next year, I love you LIB ❤️

Growing up as a lil gay boy in the 1990s South, with hair this red and wrists naturally limp, came with challenges. Ones that made me dim my star. The beautiful, bright star that was beaming from me since birth. Shadow it. Cover it with a mask that was constructed by other’s hate. Bullied. “F*g”. Gum thrown in my hair. Drinks poured on me. Made my voice deeper. Tricking girls to date me. Praying to a God that other’s told me will send me to hell. “Experimenting”. Hooking up with boys; my mind convincing myself it wasn’t that good yet my body craving more. These challenges caused delayed emotional development.

I came out when I was 19. My out-story came with acceptance; my loved ones questioned “why didn’t you tell us sooner” and “well you did play with Barbies”. The signs were there, but I knew from a very young age that society did not like the signs. No gay people on TV except as comic reliefs. Hush hush. Don’t ask don’t tell. Could you imagine, at such a young age, to feel that something so deeply innate within you is considered wrong by society? Wrong by a book that everyone worships without question? If everyone knew, I would be outcasted. No friends. Family disappointed.

Regardless of all of this, I still always knew…even from a young age even with all these emotional distresses and confusion…that I have a bright star in me. I knew there was going to be a day that I told everyone: “I love boys, and I love kissing them”. Being gay isn’t the only reason my star exists, but it does shine extra bright in hopes to show others that being gay is awesome. It’s a gift. I love to be able to hug the inner child of myself and tell him “we did it…everyone knows that we kiss boys and they actually love you for it!”. Pride for me isn’t just about partying or showing off the rights that the gays in the previous decades paved for me (thank you, always)—it’s about becoming the person that little Tyler wish he saw when he was a lil kid in the south, seeking a potential glimpse into my own future. A thriving, happy, fully expressed gay man. Not a comic relief. Someone who’s star is shining bright, no a single shadow in sight. Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈
