Things You Wanted To Say But Never Did

by Geloy Concepcion

its a way i cant rant judgement free and feel listened to in a way, i’m not good at expressing my feelings and this makes it a bit easier :)

writing from Georgia, USA

Whenever I see this project on social media, it feels like a hug — like my thoughts are finally being put into words I never knew how to say. Every word comes from a place far away yet deeply familiar, turning simple feelings into something seen and heard. Thankkk you so much for continuing this project, Taytay Geloy ♡

hi taytay! its been years since I get to know u on social media and your works has truly been a great impact on my life. I borrowed some of your tywtsbnd works to display on my personal project cafe for my archi portfolio and I hope that u don't mind hehe. But all those are credits to you taytay. All those words yhat carried beliefs are life changing, so thank you! Im planning to visit your gallery soon! i'm excited :D

I followed this project for quite some time. I remember stumbling upon this account and crying from how much I needed to hear what I was reading. Don't forget your roots, don't forget how much of an impact you've made. Thank you from Colorado, United States of America. -ashton

Maraming salamat, Kuya Geloy dahil sa talento mo marami kaming nabigyan ng pag-asa na makapaghinga sa bigat ng mundo.

This project has helped me a lot. It's made me feel less alone in my feelings and having the words to express how exactly I feel.

Hi taytay geloy! Thank you for making vlogs, I always feel nostalgia (I don't know why hehe) when I watch your videos and I love your little family:))

This project made me realize how many people are quietly carrying things they never say out loud, like me, someone who keeps everything inside even when it already feels heavy, but still chooses to stay and continue for the people I care about and can't just let go of. To Geloy, thank you for creating something that speaks without forcing words. It feels like a quiet reminder that people are not as alone as they think, even in their most silent moments.

thank you taytay ;)

I feel less alone in the world

i’m beyond proud of you po, kuya. thank you rin sa kuya ko na nag suggest na basahin ko raw yung mga posts mo here sa ig nd yung books. you heal me

Thank you! Recent breakup may lead a blowup of responses!

I'm writing this for my past self and to my present self you've made it this too far! hope you keep be gentle and not rushing things and remember you cant control everyting :)

Thank you Geloy

This project makes me feel ‘better’ in a certain way, as in I’m not the only person who feels this or that way, I’m not alone, I always identify myself in those quotes. Writing from Brazil, thank you so much for this project, it really helps me.

i thank the lords for you life:)

Thank you geloy

I feel like this project makes people seen and heard even if it is anonymously, so big thanks to you Geloy!

ang ganda

if you've no one to listen to your sorrows, you begin to hide it. sometimes letting a bit of it out helps you and someone else realize they aren't suffering in silence. if my words help someone in pain, i would speak.

thank you so much for all of this, i’m writing from Tennessee, USA.

hi geloy thanks for validating my darkest feelings and showing me im not alone

Hi Taytay! I am writing from Marikina. :) Hope you know you’re inspiring us to fight for our country and our hopeless lives by doing what you are doing. I know sometimes it gets hard and tiring but please know nandito kami to support you and Naynay Bea and Narra! 🤘🏻

I think this project is amazing and shows raw emotion. I enjoy that, even when it hurts.

I feel less alone and reminded that the others out there are really worth fighting for; for now it’s in healthcare

Thank you tay! Makes me feel that I am not alone.

The project you created caught my eyes, especially those relatable writings they shared with you. I realized we have the same thoughts and the same pain in life but different experiences and stories. Your project reminds me of an aesthetic I've researched recently. An aesthetic where some people get to edit their rooms or random images of wide space with black shadows and childhood cartoons filled with texts of their disturbing thoughts. However, this one is also different. It is mixed with some people that has hope in life. The silhouette of a cutout person without a detailed figure through your photography skills. And I connect into that. Please do continue this project, it is healing for people who have no time to journal, who have no skills in editing, who wanted to express their thoughts with someone who can manage to make it real, and the people who are in need of medium and help to heal their inner scars, wounds, and newly developed ones. With you, and this project, it reveals the psychological mind of every people with different stories in their life but same feeling. And I wanted to thank you for that. Thank you, geloy. From the Philippines.

Thank you so much for creating this project, it makes me feel normal. -Arkansas

Saw you post on someone's story and just wanted to say that thankyou for this project . I hope you find peace in your life.

salamat po, kuya geloy & family, sa pag heal sa inner child ko na 'di nabigay ng parents ko sa'kin :'))

I love this! I’m a college student writing from Kansas city, and this project means a ton to me and I think it’s super cool. I love the raw emotion people are able to show because of the anonymity. Keep doing what you’re doing dude! You’re an inspiration to so many that you’ll never see, you’re touching lives every day and that’s beautiful.

I think it’s amazing how other people are feeling things I don’t know how to articulate but relate to so deeply

Hi Taytay, thank you for this project of yours. It's nice to see and hear from someone in the same situation as you. It turns out that you're not the only one experiencing sadness, it turns out that others are going through even worse things.

I’ve been following this project of yours since Senior High School, Geloy. Thank you because this project has inspired me for years, for having a safe space for people who feel unheard. L.G.

Salamat po, Kuya Geloy!! For making this❤️

From Michigan — thank you for this project. It is comforting to know I am not alone.

thru your art ive been able to realize that in this battlefield, i am not alone. every battle that i have fought (and still fighting) consists of me along with a few other warriors. live happy and healthy, taytay, naynay bea, and narra!

thanks kuya, you are my role model

I'm writing from sunny San Diego, California! It effects me in so many ways it makes me dig deep into my emotions, my own confusssion sometimes my own inner thoughts to realize that I shouldn't hold this guilt or pain in and that I was never my fault to have these feelings

i have loved this project every since I stumbled upon it a while back. i love seeing the post ans they make me feel like some stranger out there experienced the same things i had to go through. writing this from the hills and Hollers do eastern Kentucky.

Thank you always, taytay.

I’m writing from Wisconsin! This page does more than you know.

this project makes me feel like I can say what I haven't ever said !! no words can thank you enough for this!!! you are a legend, THANK YOU!

thank you taytay ;)

I'm writing from Sri Lanka. I'm an athlete, a mum of two and I'm fed up that I have no support. If the note doesnt quote my name, please feel free to use it. If my name needs to be used, please don't. I can't handle more pressure. Thank you for doing this though.

It makes me feel less alone. It reminds me that yes, In my small world I may feel alone and that no one understands my pain and thoughts but in the universe, there’s always someone who does. They’re out there somewhere experiencing it too, not just me.

we're all hurting out here and holding stuff in. art is pain, art is beauty. that's what this is. the beautification of our pains, and it helps. it helps people to say these things to somebody, and it helps people to see this art and know in a very real way that they're not alone sometimes. I think the project is good as it is so far. also, writing from South Carolina, USA

I love this project. It means a lot. I’m glad it exists. I lost my fiancé to sudden death right before our wedding.

Makes me ponder on things and think whether I remember the good times or feel sad about what really happened in the past. This makes me feel human. Thanks, Kuya Geloy!

i am such a big fan of you & your works. :) continue inspiring people! <3 much love to you & your beautiful family.

i read each post of yours and each story touches my heart, you are doing wonderfully! I'm writing you from Argentina :)

i've loved your posts for a long time, they make me feel proud and sad for the people who have shared them. it feels very important to share words like these :)

you make me feel less alone, thank you.

thank you for this wall, kuya geloy.

love what you’re doing, from San Diego

I enjoy just going through these when I’m feeling down, it‘s an outlet for me. It helps to know that I’m not the only one suffering silently.

Hello taytay ang dami na kaming mga anak mo!!! Hoping for more narra to come🤍

thank you so much kuya geloy. i have a lot to say pero di sapat ang thank you dahil malaking tulong po itong ginagawa niyo in a lot of ways.

I love being able to relate to these posts!

Thank you Geloy for sharing our stories. - From, Michigan

I'm so thankful to get a chance to write something that really bothers my mind for quiet a while now. Thank you for existing bro Geloy! Keep safe always and your family! Naway makamit na natin ang pagbabago dito sa pinas!

Thank you for creating a platform like this, where people can say the things they’ve been keeping inside without hesitation. Somehow, it feels comforting knowing that even if the right person may never read it, at least my feelings were heard somewhere. Salamat po, Tay and Nay. <3

hi sir geloy, your work has been sitting heavy in my heart lately in the softest way possible. “Things You Wanted To Say But Never Did” feels so personal, like hearing thoughts people try so hard to bury. it reminds me that some feelings never really disappear no matter how quiet we try to keep them. i think that’s why your work hurts and comforts me at the same time. i had someone i loved so deeply, and even now we’re still friends, but i know i don’t exist in his heart the way he still exists in mine. the hardest part is knowing he went back to the same first love i once helped him heal from. and somehow, despite everything, i still can’t find it in me to hate him for it. your art makes me realize how human it is to still care even when things don’t choose us back. how some people become part of you even after the story already ended. thank you for making space for feelings people are too afraid or too tired to explain out loud. your work makes people like me feel seen without having to say too much.

Taytay! I hope you know how this impact people, I hope you know na you, Naynay bea and Narra are truly love by us (your fans), hope to see you soon again, sana di sa event casual encounter, at usapang malalim at biroan na alam ko na maiintindihan natin ang isa’t isa. Ingat kayo palage!

hello po! we met last merch day sa maginhawa! nagaadjust na po ako sa uk, hope u visit here soon :>

I’m writing from india! This project is so comforting and I love reading through and finding meaning in the photos. Thank you for creating something so community based and meaningful.

this is my first time sending a letter to your project. thank you, sir geloy.

this project helps me process my feelings relating to aging and mental illness and i’m so grateful it exists. cheers from newfoundland, canada!

thank you, tay.

It's a cool project for venting. I'm from Poland.

Your posts give me hope… sometimes. A lot of the time they are things I relate to a lot helping me feel less alone so thank you, geloy.

writing from new jersey! this project touches the aches in my heart & makes them hurt less knowing that i am not alone. thank you for what you do & for uniting strangers in this way ❤️

Writing from Minneapolis. Everytime I see pieces from this project I feel at home. I have C-PTSD and this project feels like what it means to cope with things you may not be able to fix.

Hello, Kuya Geloy! Thank you sa lahat artwork mo na tagos sa puso. Salamat sa mga reminder na nagpapalakas ng loob ko to keep going kahit anong bigat ng mundo. Ingat kayo palagi 😊 Hi kay Ate Bea at Narra 🫶

It makes me less alone.

hi kuya gelooyyy i really admire ur works and crafts.... i hope i can find my geloyyy puhon!!!

I love u, taytay ! :)

hi geloy im writing from turkey. i feel like i weigh less emotionally when i read your posts. we all feel alone but you are bringing us together and i will never leave my people alone when they are fighting their wars and you are making hundreds of strangers my people. i dont know if this will make sense to you:) english is not my first language so if you find anything wrong with my piece feel free to correct. thank you for reading this.

Hi, tay! I really adore your family. I love how you and Nay Bea protect Narra as much as possible while giving her freedom to express herself. In case you’re not aware, but you inspired me to be a better version of myself everyday. Your words and artworks really help me to put words in feelings I can’t name. Thank you for existing! See you again.

I love this project, there are several phrases and stories that comfort me, either because of my past or because it reflects in my present. Thank you for creating this project (and sorry if the English is bad, I'm not fluent and I'm using Translator)

I always wanted to say something to my ex. He just got up and left one day without saying a word, he was always putting me down and I never had that chance to say what I felt about him. I love your work, keep it up! I'm writing from Bath in England!

Hi Geloy, Everytime I watched your videos, kumakalma lang ako. Naiisip ko na hindi mag rush sa mga bagay na hindi naman dapat nira-rush. Sobrang nakakatuwa yung buhay nyo ni Ms. Bea at Narra, simple pero alam mong at peace. Sana ganyan din maging future ko. Walang sigawan, walang pressure, peace lang. thank you for this kind of content or project. Sana hindi mo ‘to iclose para may mapag-sesendan ako ng letter everytime I feel alone.

Thank you, so much.

hi tay! thank you for giving me motivation everyday!:)

hey! im 17 years old and im writing from north india. i found your instagram and it was so moving. i cant wait for your book to come out so i can buy it! i love your photography, it feels so raw and full of emotion. im glad i found your account and i hope my quote makes it in your book! and even if it doesnt, i'll keep following you because i love your work <3

hello from brisbane, australia

This project is haven of the people like me who went through something and needed someone to confide on without being judged. I hope you continue your work and I believe geloy (the author) will be successful. -Cavite, Philippines

It makes me feel relieved to be writing out my feeling. Thanks so much for this project I really enjoy seeing and reading each one.

Hi, Geloy! Thank you for this initiative. Thank you for making me feel and for letting me know that there's someone who is willing to know what I feel without judgment. Thank you. "Bad days are temporary." All will be well.

taytay thankyou sa vlogs mo dahil nafeel ko uli ang saya ng isang complete family hehe. Pumasok ako sa art industry nag aaral ng multimedia and naiinspire po ako sa mga works nyo sa photog kaya im focusing nadin po sa photography and other related stuff na hinagawa nyo po. thankyou po sainyo.

So much appreciation for this project. Hope you continue posting our notes!

HII TAY, thank you so much for making this that i get to tell about unspoken feelings, keep it up po🫶🏻🩵

This project has made me feel less alone in the world, that there are other people out there that feel this same sadness every single day of their lives. Thank you for this.

Your posts give me hope… sometimes. A lot of the time they are things I relate to a lot helping me feel less alone so thank you, geloy.

Hello, kuys Geloy! Salamat ng marami. Ang laki ng impact ng libro mo sa akin pero honestly hindi ko pa natatapos. I need to be in a quiet space whenever binabasa/sinasagutan ko yung libro. Balik ka na ulit sa Pinas! Miss ko na merch day hahahaha

Thankful, its a world full of sad people and we are not alone.

This project affects me in a way that so much people put words on situation I couldn’t find any. thanks geloy for this project ! Writing from France

Hey! I am writing from the US :) love your work!

It is very relieving that somebody relates to the pain you have

I love this project, and it’s empowering seeing so many people get to say the one thing they, quite literally, didn’t get to say. It’s personal, but still anonymous, and makes it really easy to find closure with troubling thoughts or past wounds. Whenever I feel the lingering sense of pain from a bad memory or a relationship gone sour, I come here to tell you the secrets about me that no one else knows, but you’ll never find out who I am. That’s the beautiful thing about this project!! It’s a public, anonymous confessional for wounded hearts to gather and find community, share advice, support each other, and be kind to one another. Geloy, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your hard work and dedication to this project!! ♥️✨

Thank you! I have some things I wanted to say but never did now.

Hi Tay Geloy thank you for sharing your creative works!

This is a great way to get things off of my chest. You guys always make me cry, how you share your stories with random people on the internet. Haha. Thanks Geloy, Thanks everyone!

This gets me through

I've been watching the podcast of you together with SB19 multiple times. It was a year ago but your words still hit me hard when the boys asked you "Anong gusto mo for Narra" and you said "Wag lang s'ya maging masamang tao" and also your line na "wala kang choice kundi galingan" those are simple words but it helps me a lot to continue. Thank you for saying those words.

Hello sir geloy, i met u last jan 10 2026 on my bday. this proj actually helps my emotions cope when i have no words to say anymore it feels like wow i’m not the only person feeling this and thank you for making a safe space for us jem

The project helps me to get through the day as I can relate to others.

thanks geloy!

honestly, i can't think of any suggestions anymore. this project is already beautiful. thank you, sir geloy. i hope you know how many people you are helping. madalang na lang po sa lipunan natin ngayon ang mapagtuunan ang nararamdaman ng mga tao. sa dami ng mga iniisip natin araw-araw, gastusin, trabaho, pagkain, pera, gobyerno. wala na talagang oras para isipin pa mga ganitong bagay. pero dahil sa project niyo, nagkaroon sila ng space. nakakahinga sila kahit papaano.

Hi, Taytay! Thank you for creating this and sharing your beautiful and amazing life with us.

Thank you sir sa mga vlog mo nakaka gaan nang damdamin.

This project means that I am not so alone in this massive world. I love reading these on my social media bc it’s a healing hand of love in its own bittersweet way. Thank you. I love writing. My Dad died a month ago in his sleep, it is the most heartbroken thing that has happened to me. Writing about him has been the only thing that’s kept me coping from this pain. Thank you for reading whatever I’m muttered out. I’m just another young girl from Minneapolis just wanting the world to not be as cold as it is.

looking back at the time when I had a phase where everything feels like I was losing hope at everything I did, you saved a soul just by posting your iconic "basic na araw na naman" and your project things you wanted to say but never did relating to almost everyone's thoughts or experience and I realized, it's not just me. I realized that there's still hope, I can still do more things beyond my imagination and I'm beyond grateful to you sir for saving me without u knowing, thank you, sir!

hi, taytay. thank you for saving me. aside from seventeen, you and your family became my comfort. i hope you know how much your work/videos deeply affect us. 🫂❤‍🩹

I am writing from Brazil, I love your project as it gives me a sense of belonging

Thank you for this space.

Thanks from switzerland

It is great. this is very helpful. thank you so much geloy :) god bless you

It happens a lot since I suck at falling in love and starting relationships.

From Manila.PH

Just from London, you’ve got fans overseas bro.

hi, sir geloy! i discovered your art back in 2021 here on instagram, and it has continued to inspire me even until now. thank you for being a voice for people who choose to stay silent, and for those who don’t even know how to put their feelings into words < 3

It gets a lot off my chest even if it’s one sentence. Also hi Geloy!! Ur doing so well :)

hehehe check dm na lang po 😁💗

hi, Kuya Geloy! i really really love your family. you inspire me na magkaron ng pamilya kasi u make it look so easy to raise a family. i hope someday maranasan ko o maiparanas ko ang pagmamahal na hindi ko naranasan ngayon.

Hi I’m from chile and I think that your work is just amazing, it makes me feel less alone knowing that some people feel the same about more specific things

Hi! Thanks for this work. I feel less alone when I read thoughts of other people who feel the same way I do

Besides my kids and husband, your project saves me every time. When i feel good, your chill days with Bea and Narra come up. When i feel my mental health declining, your posts about the project come up. Algorithm is funny and timely that way. Or maybe, that’s God. But yes — it saves me. Your profile gives me hope that i, too, can have a slow life and a happy family. Growing up with a very dysfunctional household, i am hopeful that i can make that dream into reality. And with all the submissions, i am not alone in this battle. I am safe. I am validated.

I am writing from Paris france, and Geloy this projet gives me hope and a sense of belonging Ive never felt

I makes me realise I’m not alone

sdfsdfsdfsdf

This project is majestic. I followed your instagram account and shared your posts for years now, I love seeing people say things I never could, makes me feel less alone in this cruel exhausting world. I love this kind of art, you always share the best content and I just want to tell you that I don’t know who you are and probably you’ll never know who I am but I have you in my heart. Messages that helped me get through stuff I never thought I ll get out of, and I m grateful for you. Don’t change a thing, just please don’t stop sharing these with the world, it’s just amazing. Thank you! I’m Vlad and I m sending this from Romania.

Maraming salamat sa sining, Taytay :)

Hi po Tay Geloy! I just want to thank you for existing! Walang halong ka eme-han po hehe! I've been loving arts and photography ever since gradeschool and ngayon nawala na yung spark dahil sa mga various responsibilities at hard-hitting realities ng buhay, but everytime po tumatambay ako sa socmeds niyo po at makita ang bawat larawan, nai-inspire ako at napapanatag kasi nabubuhay muli ang love ko for photography! :> Kaya thank you po sa mga simple at diretsahang advices regarding sa photography and even appreciating mundane and simple living! God bless po sa inyong family Tay!

This project talks about the silent feelings inside me, the feelings which I cannot express… I write from Egypt.

Writing from Italy, hope my English is not the worse ever. Love your project!

hi geloy! i've been following your works for almost 4 years now. thank you for this. keep safe!!

I just enjoy ready and looking at all of these. Thank you for making them. I hope you have a good day. I’m writing from Chicago

This project makes me feel welcomed for knowing that there are people who feel the same things as me, so I'm not alone. I'm from Brazil.

Hi kuya geloy! I'm ella i just wanna say na please don't stop doing this i really really admire your works and i'm saving money to buy your book tooooo!!!!

This project is helpful in many ways. Being able to say the things I’ve never been able to say is really good for my mental health. I’m writing from Ontario, Canada.

geloy this page has helped me communicate my feelings and i really appreciate it

Yeyey! Hey Taytay Geloy! Alam mo sobrang laki ng impact mo sa buhay ko. Siguro im just a stranger sa internet na nakikinood ng content mo, nakikibasa ng posts mo... pero that saved me. Yung basic na araw vlogs niyo ni Narra sobrang gaan sa pakiramdam na para bang naisasabuhay ko ulit childhood ko, ngayon naman sa magandang perspective. Itong project mo na anyone can send letters... Geloy, you're doing so much than you may think. Pwedeng ito lang ang tanging outlet na meron ang isang tao and it's possible dahil sayo. Good days, bad days, hopes, dreams, aspirations pwede lahat! Ang galing no, na parte ka sa buhay ng maraming tao, ang astig kaya non. Ipagpatuloy mo lang ang ginagawa mo. Para sa sining at sa mga buhay at kwentong kaakibat nito. Btw, one year nalang graduate nako sa kolehiyo. Salamat isa ka sa dahilan kung bakit nakarating ako rito! Mabuhay ka, Geloy! At sa dami mong natulungan... Ikaw, kumusta ka?

Thank you for sharing your little treasure of a family with us, Tay! Nakakatuwa na Narra wouldn’t have an inner child to heal because of how you and Nay Bea support her. It’s really comforting to see how a child, fully supported, could grow up. You’re both doing great! P.S. Miss ko na po mga basic na araw ninyo!

I love your project

i love to see people excited to be where they are, and i feel for the people hoping to move forward from it. i am with you.

Best idea and project

Writing from Minneapolis. Everytime I see pieces from this project I feel at home. I have C-PTSD and this project feels like what it means to cope with things you may not be able to fix.

thank you, taytay. been a follower even before the pandemic, and i’ve already submitted a bunch of letters but never really got the chance to be posted. i feel like i’m finally seen and heard now.

I am writing from my bed at my home, not sure if THATS what you wanted but I have so many things I’ve wanted to say before but I don’t because some things need to be let go of.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you do. I came across this on Instagram late one night when I was battling some demons and it's comforting to see other people feel the same way I feel, I thought I was alone

Thank you for doing this. I know it must take a toll on you having to read everyone's deepest thoughts so make sure you're taking time to do something nice for yourself. <3

salamat po, kuya geloy & family, sa pag heal sa inner child ko na 'di nabigay ng parents ko sa'kin :'))

I love this so much. There’s a lot of stuff I wish I could say. I’m writing from Mexico! Big hugs

thank you taytay ;)

I like reading these thing. Things that i want to say but never did. And a recommendation from me is dont stop this idea of yours, you are great and i dont think u need any suggestions or reccs.

Taytay Geloy! Your art and stories are a breath of fresh air for me. Your platform gives way for all of us to share our deepest desires, fears, and strengths that would never be shared with anyone else but you. And you give space and value to every story that has been shared with you. I am grateful. I've been an avid fan and reader of you and your fam all the way from Cagayan de Oro. Amping ug padayun, Taytay Geloy and Fam. 🤍💌

i thank the lords for you life:)

im an australian living in South Korea

I have a lot of pent up feelings so in a way this helps me vent and also find the people who can relate to me,, which makes it feel a lot less lonely 👍 lots of love from Malaysia💓

Congratulations

i thank the lords for you life:)

Makes me cry Everytime. I felt that shit

This projects keeps me attuned to the universality of human trauma and that keeps me centered and connected to my humanity, to be a better person to those around me. San Diego, California.

i visited the art gallery in admu yesterday. i went with someone that was courting me, we were in our own worlds, taking in each unpsoken words one by one. then we stopped and just talked, and all i could think about was how everything i saw and remembered called my soul because i needed to see them. these letters are keeping me going:)

dear geloy, u and ur followers are so supportive. i feel less alone. thank you

Hi Geloy, I really love the concept of your project especially as someone who loves brain dump. I would love to see your exhibit much sooner before it ends. But I hope to see you around too in person! <3

I can able to send my feelings that I can’t verbally tell to my friends because I sometimes don’t want to be a burden. I’ve known this project for years now and I am so glad to Kuya Geloy for continuing this project even if he gotten bigger audience now. And that’s better :) Salamat kuya, pupunta po ako sa exhibit mo sa ADMU before I go to Korea.

help me cope with life fr

yes so much!!

thanks kuya geloy dahil sa fam niyo naniniwala pako na may lalake pang matino sa panahon na i2

it is so meaningful to me to be able to read all of these notes and be able to see the feelings i feel so often with my own eyes and in the words of a complete stranger. it makes me feel less alone while shifting the human experience into a perspective that is so profound and i cannot get enough! x

I’m might call you Kuys Geloy instead of Taytay. Since we are both millennials and a father. Also, magkalapit lang ang birthday natin. 🎂 I hope I can meet you in one of your events sa Pinas or US if ever, since nakabased na rin kami sa Dubai 🇦🇪. Thank you for being a great influence when it comes to photography + parenting with Narra. I capture every single moment of my 1 year old daughter Arendelle. 📸 Maraming salamat sa lahat ng photographs, projects, books, creative works, podcasts, vlogs and community na binuo at pinagpapatuloy mo. And goodluck on this new site and ingat kayo lagi ni Bea and Narra. 🙏🏻

I love your project u dont understand in how many ways u saved me! I relate to lots of the things u post ! It makes me feel like all humans are connected no matter the distances between us and our different lifestyles we all get the same emotions. Thank you so much. Keep doing this🌸 also its a very unique idea, im manifesting the best of luck and happiness for you.

I’ve been following this project and watching closely for the past 3 years and finally got the courage to write something here. Maybe the 2nd time I write here, it won’t be as scary as the first time. Greeting from Lithuania :)

honestly it makes me feel really seen. it’s nice to know i’m not the only one struggling, and tbh the images with the text give a very very specific vibe that really expresses what i struggle to articulate. plus i feel like you’ve done a great job at making a really nice community! we might be drowning, but we’re drowning together also i’m writing from the uk :))

Maraming salamat sa sining, Taytay :)

Hi sir Geloy! There were parts of my broken self that this project unintentionally touched and healed. I'm grateful and lucky that I stumbled upon your works/words. All this time I thought I was alone but really not.

hello po! ive been an avid follower of urs ever since and tbh sobrang comfort space ko na yung accounts niyo sa social media. whenever things feel heavy i find myself scrolling through ur posts and somehow in someway it’s as if im in a safe place where i can feel just what i feel and be myself completely—away from whatever the world wants me to be. thank you for existing!!

Expresses how I can’t express , Egypt

Thank you.

ever since bata ako kuya geloy, gustong gusto ko talagang magkuha ng picture kase kala ko astig lang magka camera. pero nung mahanap ko yung mga videos mo, na realize ko rin na gusto ko rin magpicture para mag preserba ng memories. i love your videos. napaka soothing and comforting kapag pinapanood ko. tsaka parang mas bet ko yung "basic na araw" kesa sa "day in the life" kase hindi mo kailangan magka okasyon para magka content. sana ma-reach ko rin yung point na araw-araw kaming masaya ng sarili kong pamilya in the future. and i’ll be documenting it like you do. salamat sa pagiging inspirayon kuya geloy! p.s i hope ok lang kayo diyan nina narra and naynay bea! : )

thank you for making me feel understood

Your letters gave me hope during my toughest times (til’ now actually) — thank you.

I think this project is amazing! You’re helping so many people find their voices! Also I’m from Ontario, Canada :)

This is my safe space I think. An ear that only listens. Thank you

If i could see mine posted, i would feel so seen. this project is so beneficial to people who need to get things off their chest

I really like this project as a rape victim it helps me see that I’m not alone. So thank you

hi taytayy! isa ako sa mga batang namangha at na inspire na ipagpatuloy ang passion sa pag documents ng pictures. maraming salamat taytay, napakalaking bagay na nasubaybayan ko rin ang pag laki ni nara. — nagmamahal, kairah. : )

Hi kuya Geloy! This project helped me to slowly speak up what is truly in my mind nakakagaan ng loob. You're actually helping us na mga natatakot mag open up

I love what you do kuya geloy, i was able to do more photography because of what you do, keep it up kuya!
