Perseverance; persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.🌷 If there were any word to be the theme of my 31 years, that would be it. When i was a little kid, never would i have imagined being a dance coach for 16 years, a boxer and coach, social media and helping brands build identity, a dog dad, and so much more. Perseverance. Pushing through the odds. Toxic relationships, absent parents and family, financial and mental struggles. We all go through some type of trauma that ends up building character. My wish for you, reading this right now, is that you recognize the mountains you have climbed. The times you smiled through the hurt. The negative voices you've blocked out in your head. I pray that you see your potential every time you walk past a mirror. Help your neighbour. Smile at the less happy. Laugh when things are funny. Play. You've come this far, it's time you wake up to your worth. 🤍 - - - - - - #life #gay #explorepage #dance #like

The man vs the boy.🪻 From 2014 to 2026, man, i have lived a crazy time. Got married, traveled the world, lost my mom, started social media, got divorced, went on TV, debilitating mental health issues, overcame alcoholism. Yeah, a slew of highs and lows. I've learnt and changed a lot in those 12 years but one thing has always remained... The magic i have for life. The fact that i have running water and a wifi signal. The ability to walk, see, hear, smell. Seeing a happy family walking by. The small things we all just take in as a normal function, but to many around the world is a luxury. That's what truly makes the magic ignite inside me to get up, dust myself off and keep on moving. I grew up, like many of us, very quickly leading me to wake up to the nuances of happiness early. I hope that if you feel the same as i, to keep smiling through the black and white world. 🤍 - - - - - #photoshoot #glowup #explorepage #like #malemodel

The life you envision is all but a dream.🌷 Make it so you smile at the little things. The little mundane moments that make you think about fortune. The gym, my dog, plays and seeing people that nurture the broken boy in me. Those are the things i have and will continue to pour into. You can be happy. A smile is a decision. The glass could be half full. You have it in you. - - - - - #gym #fyp #explorepage #like #love

A little class, a little charm… and just the right amount of trouble.🌹 Clean look, good energy, and that quiet confidence that doesn’t need to be loud.✨ The kind of night where the details matter… the outfit, the vibe, the way you carry yourself. A proper date night,not just going out, but showing up like you meant to be remembered.🖤 - - - - - - #ootd #viral #explorepage #like #love

Sometimes I wish I could live in 1985… but still keep you.🤘🏽 Back when life felt slower, no scrolling, no pressure, just people actually being together. 🏠 There’s something so pure about that kind of simplicity… like everything meant a little more. But then again, I wouldn’t trade the way we can connect, share, find each other from anywhere in the world.📲 Old soul, modern love… I think I’ll keep both. - - - - - - #fyp #explorapage #ootd #love #viral

Not everyone’s trying to stand out… but I am.🦺 If I look like a traffic cone...good,at least you won’t miss me. ☄️ Life’s already serious enough, I’m just here adding a little color, a little chaos, and a reminder that fun still exists. In a world that forgot how to play, I’d rather be the bright spot than blend into the grey.💕 - - - - - #reel #ootd #fyp #explorepage #like

Here's some facts about me, Zach.🤘🏽 I don’t know how to swim, so if I ever fall in water just know I’m choosing drama over survival… but somehow I did learn how to cook as an adult and that’s been life changing. 🌯 Like who is this version of me using seasoning and not burning everything?? Also been teaching dance for over 16 years, so worst case scenario I can’t swim… but I will hit a clean 8-count on the way down.✨ - - - - - #fyp #explorepage #reel #love #viral

I didn’t choose boxing… 50 Cent chose me.🥊 Ever since Grand Theft Auto days, I’ve been throwing imaginary punches to 50 Cent in my room like I had a title fight at 8 PM.🤞🏽 Now it’s just a little more organized… gloves on, ego slightly controlled. I never started fights when things got rowdy… but let’s just say I wasn’t clocking out early either.👀 If 50 comes on, just know I’m shadowboxing somewhere like rent is due. - - - - - #boxing #grwm #fyp #foryou #viral

Dancehall comes on and suddenly I forget how to sit.🎶 Trini and French, but give me old school Buju Banton or Suku and it’s over.🇹🇹 New age hip-hop dancehall too… my body’s already moving before I even decide. If one riddim makes you stand up like you’ve been summoned… yeah, you’re my people.🔮 Don’t even act like you don’t get possessed too. - - - - - - #fyp #dancehall #explorepage #like #viral

Take me back to when being cringe was the whole personality.🌷 I miss typing like “hEy bEsTiE” and posting blurry selfies like they were magazine covers. zero shame, maximum confidence, just vibes.🤘🏽 Somehow we were all just a little weird, a little dramatic, and fully ourselves.⚖️ Honestly… bring that version of me back immediately. - - - - - - #fyp #reels #lgbt #viral #explorepage

Take me back to when my biggest problem was picking the perfect MySpace song.🎵 I miss stalking someone’s top 8 and judging their entire personality based on their profile song and glitter gifs.✨ Don’t lie… we all knew exactly what it meant when you got moved down a spot. And the coding?👀 Why was I editing HTML like a full web designer only to have it break down after an update. Simpler times honestly.🙏🏽 Comment your MySpace @ below. - - - - - - - #fyp #reel #viral #trending #explorepage

Main character energy until gravity humbles me in slow motion.✨ One second I’m in a cinematic getting-ready montage… the next I’m falling in 4K slow motion.🎥 Honestly that’s life though. 🤘🏽 Little moments, dumb laughs, and learning to enjoy the chaos. - - - - - - #reel #fyp #explorepage #like #lgbt

Main character behavior in a bathroom mirror.✨ Somewhere between masculine man and Lizzie McGuire in 2003.💅🏽 Who knew a random Tuesday could turn into a dramatic “let the rain fall down” moment. Just a grown man in his bathroom hyping himself up, pretending the shampoo bottles are my backup dancers.🧴 Honestly the energy is half gym bro, half awkward dancer, and one hundred percent dork.🤞🏽 - - - - - - #fyp #foryou #reel #viral #explorepage

Why does a polo make me feel like I own three businesses and give unsolicited advice.✨ Black pants. Clean lines.🌷 Slight chest puff for no reason. I’m not going anywhere important but I am walking like I have a meeting about something confidential.👀 I'm a mess i know. - - - - - - #reel #fyp #viral #trending #explorepage

I don’t get ready, I wiggle into existence.🌷 Grey shirt, grey underwear, brown pants like a soft-launch lumberjack who journals.📝 If Montréal can survive six months of winter, I can survive choosing an outfit.🇨🇦 What should be my next outfit?

31, still trying to convince the algorithm I’m young, hot, and slightly responsible.✨ Pretending I have my life together while secretly hoping this outfit screams “effortless” instead of “I tried three times before this.”👀 I swear getting ready has become half therapy, half content creation. At this point I’m not chasing trends, I'm just failing publicly.🤞🏽 Anywho, hope this made you smile. My main goal is to leave you happy.🌷 - - - - - - #reel #viral #trending #fyp #explorepage

Bulking season but still trying to be cute.✨ In the thick of the bulk and somehow still filming hot little get ready with me moments like I didn’t just finish lifting heavy and eating everything in sight. 🍔 The outfits hit different when the shoulders grow. Also count how many tattoos you see or guess how many I actually have and drop it in the comments. 👇🏽 Let’s see who’s really paying attention.👀 - - - - - - #reel #fyp #foryou #explorepage #viral

I hit my head on the chandelier… we’re off to a strong start.💀 Yes the outfit is cute, but deep down I’m still that chaotic punk scene kid blasting Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco.🥁 Skinny jeans tighter than my emotional stability and ready to throw myself into a mosh pit without a single survival instinct. You can put me in a soft fit, a clean vibe, a grown era… but the part of me that lived for loud guitars, messy hair, and screaming lyrics at the ceiling? 👀 Yeah, that energy never left my body and honestly I hope it never does.🤞🏽 Are you a 90's baby and went through a punk phase?

Valentine’s Day but make it cozy.🌹 This year I am trading loud nights for warm lights, wrapped in a hoodie holding you tight.🫶🏽 Choosing comfort over crowds and choosing quiet over hype. No heels no pressure just heartbeats and skin, cozy socks sliding while your fingers trace where I have been. 🤍 We laugh we lean we breathe a little slow, falling asleep tangled together while the winter glows. (Also yes i know my energy here is insane...)👀 - - - - - - #reel #explorepage #fyp #trending #valentinesday

If you blink, I changed outfits again.👀 One second I’m invisible, the next I’m fully camo’d up, bouncing around my kitchen like I’m late to absolutely nowhere. 🤟🏽 Boyish, urban, a little chaotic...just how I like it. If the clothes could talk, they’d say “he’s doing the most.”💀 There’s something about camo that makes me feel low-key tough and high-key playful.💥 No rules, no overthinking,just me, my kitchen, and outfits magically appearing like I planned this (I didn’t).✨ - - - - - - #reel #reels #fyp #foryou #explorepage
