We consider ourselves to be independent beings. Post job: “I’m fine. Now I’m able to hang out with y’all more” Perpetually single: “I have so much free time and it’s great! I get to do what I want to do. I’m able to sit in my bed and get crumbs everywhere.” However, the hope ofContinue reading “Compromising and Compromising?”

When you’re a part of any minority, it many times feels like there are few things that accurately portray your experiences, thoughts and questions of situations in the future. I may not live in NYC and have not been. . . yet. . . but I found The Outs to be very relatable. Over theContinue reading “The Outs Is One Of The Reasons Why It’s Good To Be Gay Right Now”
Who? Gay? What?!
December 1st, 2012 marks my second year of officially being of the closet. Last year I created the blog post “The Light Behind the Closet Door” on common questions/situations when coming out. This year I decided to talk about seven things I wish I knew or wish those coming out of the closet to know.Continue reading “Who? Gay? What?!”
What We Deserve
Every school break I go home to what feels like some of the same family drama. One person has says something to annoy another, my little brother and sister of course fighting with each other and me starting out this trip home by knowing exactly how many days and hours this ordeal could last. WhatContinue reading “What We Deserve”
Into the Black
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.

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”
