#PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Who knew this little Hawaiian boy from Nanakuli would end up in a @playboy Pride campaign! I am so proud and blessed to represent Hawai’i and all māhū. To all the people who are still finding their pride (queer or not): The road may not be easy, but it is so worth the journey. At times you may even feel like giving up. I was once in a place where it seemed like life had no light, as if I was stuck in a hole of darkness with all societal odds against me. The more I let the world define me, the more I lost my inner peace and identity. It came to a point where all I could think was, “fuck ‘em! If I couldn’t be happy on this earth, I don’t wanna be here at all”. But the universe had a different plan for me. By the grace of God, I am here today as living testimony. Learning to stop seeking acceptance from others and starting to accept me for me, I’m finally living out my own peace and happiness in life. Fuck all the standards of the world! Live your truth! Find your happiness! Keep your peace! And be proud of how far you have come! Mahalo Nui @amadeoagis for this huge opportunity to break more barriers in media. Here's to the happiest pride and many more to come!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #hawaii #playboypride #supportlocal #naturephotography #pride🌈 #filmphotography #35mm #hawaiiphotography #hawaiilife #adventurevisuals #explorepage #photography #explorepage #hawaiiphotography #sony #sonyphotography #sonyalpha #sonya7ii #modelsearch #hawaiimodel #hawaiifashion #hawaiimodelsearch #couplephotography #fashionphotography #portraitphotography #thehonolulucityclub #modelphotography #honolulucityclub #lifestylephotography #filmphotography #pridemonth #pride
