  • I wanted to record a little apartment tour video the last couple years living in LA. Alas, I was always too distracted or too distraught to get one together. Now that I've moved on, grown, healed - I'm grateful for the beauty and the pain. Here it is: Apartment tour. Journey through grief. A bird flying on with my heart. A remembrance.

    You're still a sweetheart at heart. Keep it up. Remember the greatest love of all is to love yourself(Whitney Houston). Take care of yourself and those you love. Be good.
    Also, just in case you didn't know or have forgotten, you're very special and beautiful. Again, love yourself.

    This is beautiful, real, raw, and authentic. You show us your life not as you want to be but as it is. The highs, the lows, the peacefulness, the sadness, thee anger, that’s life. To show world this side of your emotions speaks highly of your bravery. Yet again another reason why I admire you so much. There’s huge lack of realism in the world and seeing this video, NO, seeing this art piece is as blissful as a chilling breeze during hot summer LA day.

    I hope you're happy because you deserve it. Thank you for re-uploading your old videos. I watch them every time I feel a little bit down (which is most of the time). All the love from Syria! You need to know that you have a big supporter from there.

    This is honestly the most beautiful video you've ever posted. You are gifted beyond our knowing. I realize now there's so much about you that we don't know. Parts of you, we've never seen. The most painful and the most precious. Thank you, Dylan, for sharing this glimpse into your heart. It is a masterpiece.

    Dylan. What to say? Beautiful. Raw. Reflective. Healing. A memoir. A bittersweet journey. A heart thing. Artistic & passionate. Failure and strength and bitter tears and smiles . Life and little deaths. Rising.
    You are beautiful and beloved. Maybe you trust that within yourself more as the years march on. That I love you and miss you is, in a way, irrelevant. Yet, it's a testimony of your value and impact in this (and my) world. Stay the course you've set. Forgive yourself often. Live loud among the living! Momento mori. Your voice beckons us, Friend. 💛

    I cannot describe how this made me feel yet all these mixed emotions made me tear up. I’ve known you for years and this makes me proud seeing how talented you are and reminds me how much I would like to give you a warm hug. I hope this comment finds you and I wish you happiness and everything good in life because you deserve it.
    Again you are such a talented person with a beautiful soul.
    All the love.

    amazed at how you can capture a bit of your life and at the same time let us know your mind a little. as i watched it felt as if you were narrating, like i was watching a poem. ever since i’ve known of you you’ve never failed to demonstrate that beauty and love flows through you, in all their forms.
    what i see is a promise for your life, from yourself, from God. i’ve been sure of it since i’ve known of you.

    Heel Dylan, I remember seeing your coming out video years ago. Glad to see you’re doing well, but I had no idea you lived in LA. How have things been with you? I always thought you were such a strong individual for coming out when you did. I felt your story was important, since it showed others that gay guys can also be masculine and not the stereotypical type that most people perceive. Have you considered making a specific video about how your journey has been since you first came out? Kinda letting others know about your well being and current status? Anyway, you seem to be doing very well. Wishing you the best and please stay safe. I’m Alex from, you guessed it…LA. 💙🙏😁

      @DylanGeick  Před rokem +19

      Many reasons. I wanted this video to be honest and raw. Leaving him out of a remembrance of my last year would feel strange. He was something like the crux of it. Further, my CZcams channel showcases so many of my important relationships. Johnny came into my life at a time I was afraid to share. He’s caught a lot of hate and abuse from people online because of me, and so many people who know very little of us tried to sabotage our relationship. I wish I’d had the wisdom and courage to do better by him. I wanted at least to have something to appreciate him on here. We were imperfect, but I will always care for him. I don’t know if I’d be here without him.

I'm sure (and saw) Jackson (and you) got the same treatment. Social media can be so very toxic and presumptive. That you appreciated them, means I will appreciate them. You lived together. You shared love and a relationship. You were there for each other in ways unknown and unshared.
