I am new to LPSG but I have been following Matt for a couple of years now. His GF's name is Christina Milano (@christinamilano) and she posts a lot of personal pics of them together, and she also takes a lot of the videos that he posts of himself working out. She usually double-tags him in her photos with both @themattjames_ and @mattyjamesice so the second account has to be his "personal" one for family and friends only. He is fashioning himself as a lifestyle/fitness brand. He still continues to do racy/provocative shoots but if he posts anything from them they are always carefully cropped.
Back on August 29 he re-posted the photo of him in the jockstrap taken by @jadeyphoto. This is what he wrote:
There’s no time for regrets. You’ve just got to keep moving forward. |

This post is going to be semi self-reflection and semi throwback Thursday post, but mainly this is a self-reflection post.

So, some context around this photo, this is the photo and feature that pretty much got everything started for me. Yes, I did get scouted by Wilhelmina Models Sports & Fitness department through hash tagging #WilhelminaSports&Fitness and made it to an agent viewing round but didn’t make the cut on the board.

Anyway, back to this photo. Looking back on this one, I wasn’t really proud of it at all. I actually shied away from even mentioning it and even tried blocking it out of my memory altogether. I went so far to remove myself from being tagging on it and took it off from my profile. Yea, it messed with my psyche that much. But today, I am going to own it as part of who I am instead of trying to repress and regret it.

I know we all have one or many regrets in life, but it is key to not hold on to them because they can and most likely will wear you down to a point where you lose yourself and your drive to push on forward.

So, this is a reminder for me and a message to you all. Do not hold on to your regrets, instead accept them as a moment in life and keep on pushing forward.

As I said, I've been following Matt/Jaime for a while now and I feel he's a sincere guy who is just trying to find his way in the world. Personally I'd love to see him do more erotic/sexy stuff but apparently that's not his thing.
If you dig him, you can see more photos of him by clicking on "photos he's tagged in" on his Instagram profile. I found quite a few there I'd never seen before and was pleasantly surprised.
