Becoming the leading man next to Chandra Alilijah.
A guidebook curated by yours truly.
It’s my birthday month, let me have a moment!
Let’s Get Into It
“Girl, you crazy”
No way! Hurt having fun, that’s it.
That’s the disclaimer.
Becoming the boyfriend of Chandra Alilijah
Don’t read if you’re not ready to ride along to Human Nation on summer nights.
A short but sweet personal essay.
To be a passionate man
Strong, push-forward type of energy.
Cuddly and sweet about love at times.
But built with armor in different capacities.
Lovely features
To be proud of your looks is what makes you different.
Not overly concerned about what others think about you.
“Are you holding you down?”
Adores plants
Can you raise my plant babies? Water them, prick their leaves, check their soil?
Is that feasible, love?
Building Lego sets
Creating a lifestyle together that’s buildable.
Illustrations, samples, exploration, then production.
Building one step at a time.
At the right time.
Adding value through workshop
Dating.
Going on dates, exploring different places, activities, and learning about personality.
Painting together as one, just sketching.
Listening to music, burning candles.
Maybe even eating a charcuterie.
That’s a safe moment for me.
Or displaying the love
Not being able to hide, this person cares about me.
It shows on display, not hidden.
“You’re special to me.”
It’s “let’s have a picnic at the park”, “let’s go to the grocery store at night for snacks”, “let’s grab food at 3 p.m. at your favorite restaurant.”
We all know I love a good beef shawarma.
Oh, and how can I forget
Do you have to dress nicely?
I like a man who dresses in their style, and it’s a play off culture and nostalgia.
A man who can mix styles and eras, either with ease, without it seeming too forced, is a man in style for me.
No, he doesn’t have to wear bell-bottoms or Gucci belts, or Amiri jeans with the cropped boxy tee.
The biggest thing is, babes, don’t be scared of what I am going to wear. Be grateful, I am giving a look.
That’s it
Sincerely,
Chan
