As I organized the traditional Steak n Shake get together with my old theatre friends, I started to realize we truly began our new adult lives. Soon we won’t be coming back to Pensacola for school breaks and the holidays won’t be an exception to that. Eventually we may be reduced to seeing each other once a year if lucky.Continue reading “Into the Black”

“Can’t Feel Ashamed”
I have an admission to make. But not an admission, because admissions sound like I did something wrong. I waited until this school year to get my license. I was a 20-year-old without a license. Not to say I couldn’t drive at all, but I still had that beginner’s fear every time I got in the car. PlusContinue reading ““Can’t Feel Ashamed””
That Awkward Moment When. . .
It’s going to happen as a gay person. By accident you’re going to hit on or ask someone out that isn’t your sexuality. In your defense, they were being flirty with you too. For those lovers of the cancelled show Greek, it’s just like when the only gay lead character, Calvin, makes a move onContinue reading “That Awkward Moment When. . .”
Freshman Turned PR Boy
I don’t recognize the PR boy I am today. Two years ago I probably had the same basic skills I have today, but now I actually have experience under my belt. As a freshman I remember how impressive the seniors were. The ones who seemed to have and know it all. The ones who seemed to be a hustler by day and rockstar byContinue reading “Freshman Turned PR Boy”
He Ran from Me
It wasn’t that I still had feelings for him or really even hoped the text was true. Seeing those words was surreal. I wanted the truth. I wanted him not to be able to play my heart like it felt like the others did. I wanted to feel desirable – someone attracted to me likeContinue reading “He Ran from Me”
Reflection: He Doesn’t Have a Crush on You
I sat at my computer glancing at other blogger’s posts and when I one on her crush caught my eye. I thought back to my He Has a Crush on You post and a little “Aww” went through my mind. Six months ago I felt that excitement you feel when you REALLY like someone and theyContinue reading “Reflection: He Doesn’t Have a Crush on You”
Alone Right Now
I remember walking back upstairs to my room after my mom dropped me off at college. She cried all the way here and as she started to drive off. I remember feeling like we were driving into an unknown. As I walked back into my room and sat down, I thought to myself: This isContinue reading “Alone Right Now”
A Day of Coming Out – My Love Letter
Today is National Coming Out Day and I am on the Pride Student Union Executive Board at FSU. It’s been hectic lately with editing videos, the week of events and with working on media on covering our Rainbow Door and March across campus. First, I have to say so much love today from a personalContinue reading “A Day of Coming Out – My Love Letter”
Risk
I want people to reflect back on me one day and think that among other things, I was someone willing to take risks – especially with friendships and dating. That even if I didn’t really know someone, but had the slightest interest in them, I put myself out there. I’ve learned, so what we aren’tContinue reading “Risk”

It turned into a vulnerable, beautiful process allowing me to be connect with others, find myself and be honest.
