POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Truly feeling refreshed and purged after what was a very special weekend away with a bunch of people, old and new whom I hope to have in my life till I'm old and decrepit.

I'm delighted to have been able to contribute to such a lovely ecosystem through my words, in the form of Satellite/Eclipse, Heaven Sent, Out of the Frying Pan (Into the...) and one I haven't put on here yet called Untitled Intimacy, which could be found in the Pink Tent.

This was effectively the last stronghold of my summer, the epilogue and marking of the prelude of what's (hopefully) still exciting to come. It also marks the first step of what I want to be, the beginning of displaying different pieces of my choice, in festivals of my choice that link and align with myself in varying capacities. I'm happy that this was the first, as it just felt right.

It went over my head how many people were sharing kind words to me about reading the varying pieces until it all hit me in the early hours of Sunday morning which proceeded to be the best day of my year so far, which I truly am appreciative for.

Thank you to @chelsiecoates_ @sam_picasso @louis.axcell and @intotheburrowfestival as a whole for letting me contribute in my way to the shared vision.

I won't share what my stars are, but know I'm aiming beyond them so that even if I miss ( and just know nothing ever goes to plan ever) I'll land in a higher place than where I started, and from that place I'll be able to look back and appreciate the whole view of how I got there.

I can't wait to see you all again x by @tyleradegbite

It's been legitimately hard to process how Saturday felt for me on a personal level, seeing many friends, family, and a host of people I've never met before take time to read and truly enjoy the words I've written genuinely has taken me aback, the kind words, the reactions, appreciation - just wow. Quite frankly it's one of the best I've felt about myself ever, it means everything to me.

These past few years finally finding my 'outlet' has been a pretty enjoyable journey, I never would have thought it'd be my thing all those moons ago bored out my mind and not caring about what we read in A-level Lit, but here we are.

I actually wrote my first poem Broke, 4 years ago, but I was so embarrassed by it that I chose to forget about it, yet 2 years and some well received haikus later I was compelled to finally show it and the feedback instilled the confidence in me to try again and again. Fast forward another 2 a plethora of posts on here and I've had my first commission, now exhibited pieces, and people genuinely engage with and enjoy what I have to write, pretty solid progress if you ask me - makes me wonder where the next 2 will get me, maybe I'll finally perform and make a crack on with that book and in 20 maybe, just maybe, the whole world will regularly enjoy that book and it'll bore some kid in school like John Dunne did to me :p. But even if the world doesn't but I inspire one person, then I'll have done my job.

Knowing what I write resonates and stirs different reactions and different people, it's just plain and simply nice to know that I have the ability to do that.

Thank you to @alfredo.levo and @1833films for having me amongst a host of super talented artists/creatives and allowing me to display my work to a wider audience outside of here and thank you to every person who has ever read, liked, commented or mentioned in person anything I've wrote - it's half the reason I kept doing this. Onwards and upwards I guess, lets see where I land, how little or big the impact may be✨💕 by @tyleradegbite

Whilst I'm alive I just want to enjoy myself, especially in the face of the harsh reality and constant shifting turmoil of the world. That may seem simplistic and almost ignorant - but once you stop enjoying yourself, the pressures of said tumultuous reality start to encroach on your life and make the journey feel grey and worthless.

Don't get me wrong, I indulge in my fair share of nihilism and I am a realist, but I can still choose to dream, fantisise, and be happy as they're the things that spur any of us on against the odds. I also acknowledge that I am very lucky to say thay I am the happiest I've ever been and as well that this year has been the best of my life so far.

I don't know where my path ends, or what the future holds for me but what I do know is that if I keep aiming for beyond the stars, then even if I fall, I'll still land in a place higher than the world and that's all I'll need.

There's always highs and lows in life, but you should never stop trying to ascend to new heights, no matter how minute, whatever they may be, wherever they may take you. Even if it takes your whole life.

Likewise we know we can't go back to the person we were, but we can use the past as a reference for self betterment in the future, for is there any meaning in our sentience if we can't learn from past mistakes and improve upon them going forward?

I've been religiously telling myself that "it'll all work out for me in the end" my faith is absolutely resolute in that.

I really have enjoyed myself and everything I've did this year so much, seeing so many people I love thrive around me really spurs me on and warms my heart too. I'm honestly feeling more alive than ever and I'm legitimately having a lot of fun figuring shit out and progressing down my path.

I can't wait to see where we land. Onwards. by @tyleradegbite

Since 2014, 11 years and 9 festivals have past - each of those 9 occasions has brought something different. I've lived, laughed, loved, and cried in this place, experienced countless memories, stories, and forged relationships that mean so much to me from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows.

I remember being there in 2016 when Brexit passed, to be detached from such a historic world changing event, whilst in this societal microcosm bubble was surreal. Likewise the same again just this time at the presipis of whatever is to come.

The amount of powerfully kind words, moments and, actions that people have said, shared and done to or for me this weekend genuinely has touched me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of it.

There used to be so many things I was so embarrassed about, my dancing, quirks, body, all things that people now both gravitate towards and love me for. I can't express the gratitude I have towards each and every person that I currently have in my life, you've helped me to become the person that I have, nearly, fully blossomed to.

Stolen bags, lost items, clothes, ect, none of that matters to me - they're all replaceable and will be replaced. But my relationships with the people in my life can't be and that's why I'll always treasure each and every one of you.

To know I make people feel safe and in some cases inspire people means so, so, much to me - they're qualitie ive always wanted to be and admire highly in others

To my many friends in life, new and old. I'll go above and beyond for all of you if i can, and I'll never ask for anything in return other than please, always keep faith in me. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was I but I do believe that I am destined for great things, who knows what those thing Will be. I wish you well in all your endeavors and Safe blessings in your life, I'll see you again in 2 years time. I can't wait to see how we've all grown.

If I ever pass before my time, please spread my ashes on the stone circle so that my energy remains there forever. That way I can keep wandering into other open souls, looking for a good chat, forever and ever.

You all give me purpose to wake up each morning. taken in Nirvana by @tyleradegbite

Colombia – the weird, the wild, and the wonderful.

One missed flight home, and the part way through the prospect of spending what will have been 50 or so hours in Cancun until the next one tomorrow, all I can do is think back and reflect on what have been some of the best and most special moments of my life. These past six weeks already feel like a fever dream—admiring nature’s overawing power and beauty, dancing intensely in jungle settings, beaches, broken conversations, exploring colossal cityscapes, witnessing humanity’s indomitable will to survive and keep living in any situation or condition. It all feels so distant, yet my heart flutters with contentment at all I've done and the laughs I've had—and wow, have I laughed.

Thank you to my friends, new and especially the old, to be able to strengthen our already unbreakable bonds is my honour. And thank you, Colombia—I’m happy you were the first intercontinental country I could visit. I will be back again to uncover the rest of the beauty that South America holds.

These memories, I will hold to the very end of my time here. I am both lucky and thankful to have had the privilege of taking myself here.

There’s never any rush in my life because everything happens when it does, but I’m happy I could experience this now and not later :)

World, who knows what I'll see of you next, but I'll thankfully await whatever and wherever you take me with open arms taken in Colombia by @tyleradegbite
