Ugly Is Beautiful was a summer album for me back when it was released. I was 20 years old at the time, smoking pot almost every day and bumping Oliver Tree as a go-to.
I see so many creators, large and small, sharing their stories on how much of a loving, genuine, and kind person Oliver was. He recognized people for their unique talents and abilities, spanning beyond superficial judgement. He never shied away from showing his passion for humanity and collaborative thought. He brightened so many peopleβs lives by being himself unapologetically.
It bothers me to no end that the most ambitious and caring of us leave the world too soon, but his positive impact is undoubtedly felt throughout the globe.
Rest in peace, Alien Boy. You gave me a fuckton of strength to be me in some shitty times, and I couldnβt have asked for a better influence.
He was the right kind of weird
Cared deeply about teaching people to love themselves. Staunch mental health advocate. Toured the world fighting against beauty standards $ tying self worth to them
A total goofball
Still torn up about it
RIP Oliver Tree
Oliver Tree has tragically passed away... massive loss to humanity.
This dude was the goat.
To all who are trying to "LooksMax" or think you are ugly because of this new fad.... listen to his wise words.
We are all beautiful π
R.I.P Oliver Tree π
