On this day last year, my first love died. I still find myself resisting that word, as if describing Daniel’s passing another way might make it feel softer or different somehow.

Daniel and I were together for nine years. We broke up in 2024, I moved to Paris, and roughly fourteen months later, he was gone.

We met in October 2014, both 24. A few messages on Grindr turned into him asking me out for coffee, and me asking if he knew how to install shelves instead. A slightly rude first date, but he was charmed.

I had just moved to New York from Boston to start an internship at Interview, and my first apartment in Bushwick was in total disarray. Daniel climbed three flights of stairs, greeted me at the door, unpacked a drill he’d brought along, and got to work, the motor humming as he fixed a pile of Formica shelves. We fell in love, and he began improving my life that day.

If you knew Daniel—as family, a friend, a colleague at IMG, or a client—you’ll remember the way he made you feel like everything was going to be okay when you were in his care. He had a quiet confidence, a kind of grace in how he spoke, how he moved, how he carried himself. He felt like an anachronism in our modern world.

He was my mirror, a living record of who I was and became. Finding love always felt somewhat improbable to me, especially as a gay person, and having someone to grow alongside, to build a life with for nearly a decade, even more so. Losing him at 35 is entirely incomprehensible.

This past year has felt like a daze. I can’t quite shake the sadness of his loss. Grief isn’t something you understand so much as something you endure. It arrives without warning, in ordinary moments, and rearranges your day.

I’m not quite sure who I would be, or where I’d be, had I not met Daniel. We were kids, and grew up together. And despite how we ended, and where life took us afterward, I’ve been trying to reframe the pangs of grief as small, sharp reminders that he’s still with me, still shaping who I am.
