Every day, I wake up and thank God for another opportunity to be different and better than yesterday. I then choose not to give up on myself because, at the end of the day, I only have myself and God to rely on.

When all the lights are off and the family is gone, it's just God and me, getting ready for the next day ahead.

It's hard to choose yourself, but hear me out: to support others, to create life, kindness, love, and happiness, it starts with choosing you.

I put my hand on my heart multiple times a day, checking in with my inner child, who is plagued by trauma. I ask him:

How are you?

What might have caused you to feel this way?

Then, I tell him: You are safe and protected by me. You don't need to hide anymore. You are loved and cared for. Trust me and trust the process. Growth is the most rewarding success that life can offer.

I have been having a blue spell. Why not make blue look badass, while it's motivating me to get through the day.

This shirt will be released late tomorrow on admirewear.com

Give yourself permission to hope. Give yourself permission to believe that better days are possible. We need you here to see them.

Though I've been so busy, I'm re-organizing my schedule with my afternoon part-time job. I've been getting up every morning and reading a 3 minute devotional.

Page 6 of Joel Osteen's 3 Minute Mornings book.
"You may have been raised in a dysfunctional environment with addictions, abuse, and neglect. It's easy to get bitter and think "Good, why was I born into this family?" It may not have been fair but God has promised to be your Heavenly Father. It may seem as though your upbringing put you at a disadvantage, but your Father already designed a plan with that in mind to get you to your destiny. Don't love with bitterness, give up on a dream, or settle for mediocrity. God is saying " I'm about to make it up to you. I'm going to give you more joy, more peace, more influence, and more resources than you could ever imagine." - exerted passage from today's morning reading.

I do believe that regardless of how hard it gets. Our faith in what we believe in, will ultimately have the final say.

Mom was thinking of you all today. She says, "Happy Early Mothers Day, keep blossoming. Don't let the pain keep you down. Keep going; you are alive. That means everything will be alright."

I haven't had many Admire Wear orders to fulfill since the collapse of my TikTok account.

To keep my machines fully functional, I've been making myself personal outfits. I've also been writing memoirs and contextualizing my purpose. I'm excited for the road ahead.

Next week, I start my part-time job at the Amazon Warehouse. This will allow me to continue being a leader of hope, fulfill orders, pay bills, and provide some peace for Chloe and me to go on adventures.This maroon fit features Isaiah 43:2 and Romans 8:38. One thing that gives me hope is having faith in God. I have faith in a higher purpose outside of myself, which shows me how to be a powerful, moving example for my peers. Faith helps me hold onto life during the good and bad times.

Life is precious and often unforgiving. Full of wonders and mystery, through pain and glory, I still smile. I don't smile because I'm forced to, like when I used to be mentally numb. I smile because I spy with my little eye, a unique perspective that allows me to see the world in a new light.

I haven't posted a selfie in a while, and as I took this photo, I began to smile and admire myself. Just looking in the phone at myself, I witnessed all I've been through and the battles I've never shared. Yet this soul won't give up. It somehow keeps going. I'm going through a problematic start to my year, but when I look at myself today, my grace reassures me that I will get through this.

Our faces and bodies, whether we like it or not; they are testaments of time and wars with some victories. Every day is glorious as you are a reminder of hope and the ability to prevail. You are a reminder to yourself to keep fighting and living. You are not where you used to be. You are on your way continuously towards who you're destined to be.

My name is Joshua Dixon, and this is my Friday message for this lovely weekend.

Have a great weekend, you are not your past. You are an natural overcomer of adversity blooming into a beautiful rose.

After having my car broken into for a second time a few weeks ago, my insurance company told me they would increase my rates to 600 bucks if I didn't sell my car. After four insurance quotes later and after 5 hours of negotiating with a sales agent. I have a new car.

My old car Noah, was sold to Carmax.

The nickname for the car is Wild Rose. I'm still deciding on the biblical name. Feel free to suggest any biblical names: no Noah or Joshua.

This is a Nissan Kicks 2024.

It's time for a nap. Thank you, everyone, for your car suggestions and prayers.

It took me time to get my body up to speed from my surgery. Taking fat and skin from my rib is quite painful and reduces flexibility. I am an ageless spirit, and I'm thankful for this loving community. I finally completed the first batch of love-based orders for some people worldwide.

Thank you for believing and trusting me during this year of intense triumphs and healing. Luvs you ~ Joshua

I might have acute bronchitis from a lung infection from the surgery, but it's not going to stop me from my purpose. This train of love and helping others ain't stopping. It slows us down but will never stop the show.

Hey, Admirers, My surgery went well 3 weeks ago. I've been healing and thinking of ways of blossoming the roses we give to give to each other and those who truly need to know they matter in this world.

SPRING 2024 COMING TOMORROW

Reminder:
You will always be enough. You are loved unconditionally 🫂

Doctors appointment went well. Still needs more time before making a very serious judgment on the next surgical plans. Next appointment is next Tuesday.

I'm going home. I'm still in some pain, but it's okay, I can manage. The black thing on my nose is a special sponge that will come off next week. I'll tell you more about the complications and the next steps later.

Thank you so much for praying for me. I needed it.

Dr. Gottlieb saved my life on December 5, 2007. He has been saving and prolonging my life ever since. God and Dr. Gottlieb, are a match in heaven, and I wouldn't be alive without them.

There are 11 days until my major surgery. Admire Wear closes down in 4 days.

I went today to get tested and finalize surgery plans. I'm all cleared and perfectly healthy for my surgery. I'll post an in-depth update a bit later today. I'm about to make some food because I'm very hungry after all of the doctor visits.

This was an agonizing choice for me. I really wanted to honor God with my choice. https://carolineabbott.com/2017/08/should-i-stay-or-leave/

When I was younger, I used to wear hoodies to hide myself. I would try to wear enough clothing to disappear seamlessly. It wasn't until after my second attempt to end my life is when I realized that I didn't love my beauty. I didn't love my scars, and I didn't think of myself in the highly.

I had to learn to stop bullying myself and stop looking ashamed for existing when people frown at me. Stop terrorizing myself when I got stood up or got called ugly on dates. I have to give myself the confidence I have in others and carry myself as such.

If I wanted to live, I had to own it. If I wanted to feel handsome and attractive, I have to own it. If I wanted to lead by example and not by failure, I very much own it and live up to it.

Being confident in the unknown was a learning curve for me. But it was a key that I've obtained. It's not my fault that this society has false beauty standards. It's my responsibility to create new standards that are inclusive to all walks of life.

When I created these photos, I was in my element. However, this is a discontinued outfit. This photoshoot was taken two years ago, during the end of my su;cide recovery treatment.

Today, I dropped two new lovely pieces and added them to our Admire Wear Collection.

STAY HUMBLE AND BE KIND HOODIE

PERSEVERANCE PASSAGE TEE

Two critical statements that are part of my mantra. Statements that can hold this community together for when I'm away and can't make clothing very shortly.

Now Available at www.admirewear.com

I'm not posting for the rest of the day or even the weekend. I'm really saddened hurt and upset at the recent viral tensions coming to my page, my DM, and my emails.

It hurts so freaking much when people only see my scars and make a judgment. Many people only see my scars but don't see Joshua Dixon. I've worked my entire 16 years from he brink of death to build a life, legacy, career, charity, purpose, and more.

I didn't come on social media to build a platform to pity me, say that I'm not Christian, to wish me death. I came here to build a community that focuses on the love and admiration of life and its possibilities.

Having my biggest videos turn into wars hurts. This video was one of my favorites of all time, but now it's plagued with death threats and pain. You don't know what I've been through, and you never will, but people don't have a right to wish death on an innocent kid who couldn't fight back.

It's hard being in my shoes sometimes, and this is a reality that comes with it.

Respect my privacy please.

Sincerely,

Joshua Dixon, Founder and Designer of Admire Wear

You are enough just as you are.
