2023-04-30 22:01:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe thesis is the body. Sex is an extension of that. But what it all boils down to. The rants and the photos and the psychedelics and the yoga and the porn - is exploring the body. And what it means to fully be in one.
2023-04-29 22:02:47 +0000 UTC View PostFor the first time in my life and sexploration, after monetizing my recorded sex, I felt like a whore. And I didn't like that feeling. I've always felt empowered by my ability to show up in those spaces. And I felt completely stripped of that because I had started to ask so much of that version of myself. Show up. Be vulnerable. Fuck. Capture content. Make money. Share that energy. Do it again. Too much.
2023-04-27 22:03:07 +0000 UTC View PostI think all creators are scared to admit that the truth is the biggest wins only come through when you give it your all. Be that in dance or science or soccer or parenting - whenever you're operating at full capacity you know you feel a difference in your output. And if you forever deem yourself a hobbyist or less than, you've already sealed that fate...
2023-04-26 22:03:19 +0000 UTC View PostWhere I landed is this existed in me before anyone else ever did. I've been exploring my image and the images of others since I had a camera in my hand (and did before it was common to). So I started asking myself a different question - am I afraid to be an artist? Am I afraid to look beyond the business and the partners and the quality of work and see it all as something larger - at least to myself? Is it possible that being a chaotic digital ball of wires for the last decade hasn't just been some spiral away from sanity? And beyond that...can it culminate in some sort of thesis statement?
2023-04-25 22:02:11 +0000 UTC View PostGoing back and forth on whether or not I would continue, I was also simplifying that too much. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. That's just how I was used to making choices. Flipping tables and taking it all off. Rather than rearranging what is there.
2023-04-24 22:02:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I started to look back on old images and realize how lost I was in them, I started to demonize their creation. I've separated myself from that thought since then and realized that something is only "bad" when the energy or intent put into it makes it so. To say that photography and exploring self image is inherently destructive is too simple. I was just uncomfortable with what I found.
2023-04-23 22:02:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe only shapes possible after that travel day. And it's not over yet... One more plane + bus today. No idea what time it is.
2023-04-21 22:02:52 +0000 UTC View PostToday is the longest flight (11hrs) I've ever been on. Pray for me. Or buy me survival wine 🙏🖤
2023-04-20 22:03:14 +0000 UTC View PostI need a break from intellectualizing about my sex and my body. But never fear...the butt will always be here. And that's because I have over 5TB of nudes. I certainly have equally as many moods. However I is tired. And the next phase of my adventure takes me back into yoga territory (if you follow me on other platforms). Which you are welcome to. www.instagram.com/tinytayloroakes I am me everywhere - though sometimes more clothed due to the requests of other places and platforms. Right now my main projects are asking a lot of me and my brain and for me to occupy a very different space. And so that's what I need to give 100% of my creative psychosis to...for now. So equally as many nudes. Just fewer moods for now.
2023-04-19 22:02:50 +0000 UTC View PostRest. I've never needed and received so much rest. From this time last year until now - it has been life or death go mode. The greys sure show it. But...truthfully the payoff has been beyond incredible. Other stories for other times. Nonetheless...the message is rest. SO MUCH has been possible because I've been incapable. F0rced to sit. To wait. To just be. Going day by day is my highest form of masochism. And the best lesson I've ever learned the hard way.
2023-04-18 22:03:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe best things are the ones that come to you exactly when you need them and have no idea how to define them. I always find when I am my most humble, this always happens for me. When I truly accept that nothing is in my control and whatever is going to happen to me is going to happen to me, it all, always, gets better.
2023-04-17 22:03:15 +0000 UTC View PostAnother shift is coming. Location and focus and timezone are about to flip again. I've upgraded my suitcase since starting this journey in December of 2021. But so far in 2023 I've changed locations more times than in all of 2022. Somehow it doesn't seem like as much. Maybe that's more emotional. Or the fact that after all these solo missions I've really built up my back. But regardless...it's go time!
2023-04-16 22:02:40 +0000 UTC View PostHow often do you feel like your best self?
2023-04-15 22:02:52 +0000 UTC View PostActing natural is such a challenging cue to receive. The least natural thing we can do is be acutely aware of all parts of our body (and the presence of a viewer). In the very astute words of Ricky Bobby "I'm not sure what to do with my hands."
2023-04-14 22:04:29 +0000 UTC View PostOscillating between states of gratitude and anxiety. Or is that just adulthood?
2023-04-13 22:03:57 +0000 UTC View PostI learned the meaning of "sababa" in December and every time the future thinking has tried to take hold, I have tried to hold onto the moment of learning what it means to really enjoy the present when you open to all it has.
2023-04-13 12:33:01 +0000 UTC View PostDo you get enough rest? I certainly don't and have been trying to force myself to treat my remaining time where I am more like a vacation. Though it's certainly an expensive one given the exchange... However that is (very immediate) future Taylor's problem.
2023-04-12 12:21:37 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the mood of the current upload speeds I feel like I've been dealing with for over a year...
2023-04-06 22:03:40 +0000 UTC View PostHow frequently has this been the mood of recent history?
2023-04-06 17:44:04 +0000 UTC View PostDo you find it easier to land in your body or leave it?
2023-04-04 22:03:06 +0000 UTC View PostI have never been so far out of my body as I was when these were taken. I knew that going in and wanted to force myself to still get in front of the camera. To tell myself this time would only be temporary. And that a future me would want to look back and be able to remember that. So suck it up. Be brave. Get uncomfortable. It's always worth it.
2023-04-03 22:03:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt feels like these were taken just a minute ago. But the timestamp says they're almost a year old. The collapse between last summer and the one just coming is the most intense time dilation I've ever felt.
2023-04-03 11:17:46 +0000 UTC View PostBack in my body more than ever before ✨
2023-04-01 09:11:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhat you are is always more beautiful than whatever you pretend to be. Our truth always finds a way of coming out. And when it does. It's when we actually look our best.
2023-03-31 05:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAnd at the end of that shoot full of costumes and characters, the shots that turned out the best (that I liked the least at the time) were just me being me. Beyond the shoes...this is very much that.
