In case you missed it, figure skater Adam Rippon just became the first openly gay man to qualify for Team USA at a Winter Olympics.
And while it's indisputable that Adam is incredibly talented on the ice, what I'm *really* here for are his tweets. They're *kisses fingers like an Italian chef* impeccable.

9. On whether or not his "assets" are natural:
There’s been a lot questions to whether I compete with butt pads on and I’d like to set the record straight and let… https://t.co/CMxxYkjCJB

13. On glowing up:

14. On living your best life:
This week is 💯 purely about me getting my jush
15. And finally, while it's not *his* tweet, but this is how we're ALL trying to be in 2018:

Keep doing your thang, Adam! We're rooting for ya.
