”don’t hold back and sleep when you’re dead”
Paddy Pilkington, 24, New York, USA.
Why this quote?
This quote is kind of just two things I try to live by. I’ve had so many amazing experiences and things happen to me in my life by just being me and not holding back who I am. I also thing that people forget how precious life can be. I feel like we should try live life to the fullest. Don’t miss out on things because your feeling “too tired” or last because you could be dead tomorrow.
What can you tell us about this photo?
This is probably one of my favorite photos ever. It’s me and my little brother (also gay) both in our heels with our mum holding a turkey on Christmas Day. I had just given my brother those heels as a Christmas present and was about to start helping my mum prepare the turkey. I’m lucky to come from a family that was always very accepting of not just me being gay but also of my crazy outfits, heels and drag. My mother is an amazingly strong woman. She is really the person to first instill in me the importance of enjoying your life and making the most of your opportunities.
