I am learning that love takes the ability to be brave and face difficult challenges hand in hand and accepting the outcome no matter what. Alexander admittedly hasn't gotten tested for HIV in well over a year while I have done so every 3-5 months over the past few years (more recently every 3 months as I'm on PrEP). So I decided to get 2 home HIV tests and Alex was extremely nervous to take it. So many questions suddenly hit us, how would we feel, what will the outcome be? The results take 20 mins, and during which Alex became very silent. When it was time to check, Alex asked for a few more minutes before looking, tears in his eyes. We both are no saints. We've done many things that might have been fun but not always safe. I saw in him fear that these results would change everything. And they did. We are both negative but that's not what changed. We both saw the importance of taking each other's hand and facing a difficult situation. Our whole relationship has been difficult and unconventional, and facing challenges as a team has been a key factor to overcoming the unknown and uncomfortable. I say all this to say that I am overjoyed for difficulties because it is in them that you find your true strength. Knowing your status is important and I urge everyone to get tested regularly. We must take care of each other no matter what and be the allies we ask the world to be to our community. Will (Beef)
“I wish we could drive to that lake and listen to the waves with you.” “Just make a right here Baby.”
This.

Happy holidays from Beef n Bier!!!
Rooftop view when Alex first came to visit my job in May 2016. I love this photo for several reasons but most of all because it almost is metaphorical to how we are looking off to future with a big world in front of us to see. Side by side, one city at a time ❤️ - Beef
Humble beginnings... A Modern Day Love Story Sometimes all it takes is a animalistic howl to find the love of your life lol. Jokes aside, this is truly our first interaction. While lusty and a tad shallow in the sense that I had sex on my mind from the moment I saw Alex, I took a chance on initiating a conversation with him despite the fact that there was an ocean and several countries between us. Call it fate or destiny but taking this leap of faith in spite of inconvenience has yielded an immeasurable trove of happiness and love. Digging deeper beyond what's convenient and exploring the depths of each other's minds and being forced to withhold being physical broke of vicious cycle of hooking up as a temporary fix and gave way for us to find everlasting love. Be open to what the universe has in store and never fear what may seem unrealistic or impossible. Love is fearless and rewards only the brave. - Will (Beef)
