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””

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”
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. Below are the top five posts of my blog that helped bring meContinue reading “Finding Roots – A Sweet Two Years”
Party of One
Welcome to junior year – party of one! If I’ve learned anything these last two years, it’s that I’m on a journey and I’m alone in it. Not in a depressing way but as a warrior trying to find his way. Friendships have come and gone and are in the hospital. Work skyrocketed in constantlyContinue reading “Party of One”
My Lips Were Shaking
A year ago I was definitely in my end of freshman year mentality. I didn’t see myself as cute. I didn’t understand the public relations world well and I was lost in certain ways. I didn’t even make it to the Live with Kelly semi-finalist level and it hurt. No matter how farfetched something is,Continue reading “My Lips Were Shaking”
Live with Kelly and Jarryd
“This familiar feeling radiates throughout my body but I feel it most in my core. It’s desire! Forget my summer shows, fixation on the future and fanciful crushes, this sensation matters most. Determination and vision seem to be key in this moment.” My thoughts earlier this week ———————————————————————- Too often we think to ourselves, atContinue reading “Live with Kelly and Jarryd”
Tears Stream
My grandmother cried as I stood in front of her. My mom smiled with happiness that I was there. I surprised them both by coming home for my uncle’s memorial and funeral. It wasn’t a financial luxury I had but I knew it would make all the difference for them. Friday brought familiar faces backContinue reading “Tears Stream”
I Heard You Were a Wild One!
Sometimes I’m lonely. I think how nice it would be to have a guy to cuddle with. But at what cost? A guy we can just sit together and talk about random, small moments of our day. It could lead to more. “I’m Jarryd and I’m a virgin.” “Hi, Jarryd!” “I’ve just started to be comfortableContinue reading “I Heard You Were a Wild One!”
