Season One

---

This eight-part entry from Xo, From the Diaries of a Diva is a poetic season of heartbreak, glamour, and quiet survival.

I explore identity, online hate, addiction, chosen family, and the delicate art of looking whole while falling apart.

Each piece is a reflection of what it means to be “pretty” when the world wants you edited, muted, or erased.

Through poetry and confession, I reclaim the narrative. I revisit the nights I posed through pain, the friendships that saved me, the boys who never saw me, and the moment I finally saw myself.

It’s messy. It’s vulnerable. It’s mine.

Each entry captures a turning point — where performance breaks into truth, where the camera flash fades and the real glow begins.

I hope you see yourself in the reflections. In the flaws. In the glitter. In the glow-up.

And remember how fabulous you truly are. Thanks for following along.

Until next time.
xo, Paul
