I rush out the door. I need to get out of here. It’s been too much public relations lately. Class. Work. Helping friends. FPRA. There is still a few hours until sunset, but it’s slightly dark outside. I feel the wind encompassing me. I should go home soon. I need to go home soon. NotContinue reading “Whirlwind”

Goodbye Teens!
Let’s get ready to kiss those enlightening teenage years where I made naive mistakes goodbye but embrace them in my arms for all the great experiences. We had fun didn’t we! There were some fun nights but also tears. Maybe too many. . . There was love, and there were fights. We gained friends and lost aContinue reading “Goodbye Teens!”
And They are Delicious!
Everyone has a love language. There is Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. I didn’t know this existed until I was sitting in a Boston hotel lobby a couple of weeks ago with a friend. Ironically, when back in Tallahassee one night with nothing to do, because aContinue reading “And They are Delicious!”
Cruise Control
When I was in high school I volunteered and was a member of a lot of things whether, Drama Club, Student Government, or Junior Civitan. I kept going and going every day with involvement in all these groups and I had fun. First semester of college was an adjustment period. Your world changes andContinue reading “Cruise Control”
The Light Behind the Closet Door
My one year anniversary of being out as gay was December 1st and it amazes me it has been that long. It feels like longer in so many ways! I grew to be comfortable with who I am with a peace and courage that wasn’t there before. There are certain questions and situations that came upContinue reading “The Light Behind the Closet Door”
Forgiveness
College really has helped me grow through learning to forgive others. I confronted many issues from my eighteen years precollege but also came to understand relationships and how to deal with people better. People let us down and upset us. We need to forgive them but forgiving them does not make okay what they did toContinue reading “Forgiveness”
Whose Voice Is That??
Sometimes I put myself down. It’s something we all do! Sometimes we think we are fat, we are ugly or we are not worthy of something. A lack of yoga and success with dating definitely leaves me feeling down at times. A few weeks ago I watched Oprah’s Lifeclass and life coach Cheryl Richardson addressedContinue reading “Whose Voice Is That??”
Real Talk
This past weekend I realized some inner truths through conversations with friends and being honest with myself. I basically “got real” and so did some of my friends. Often we end up lying to ourselves or not disclosing the truth to someone else, when we should. We need to get real about our feelings andContinue reading “Real Talk”
Change Is Hard Yet . . .
Coming back this school year I thought things would be a lot easier than they are. I thought even though I am busy, I will be able to hang out with my friends a lot and I can handle all the other demands of homework, work, classes, extracurriculars and dating. However, change happens whether weContinue reading “Change Is Hard Yet . . .”
You Know How the Story Goes. . .
I knew I wanted my next post to be on friendship and yesterday, it came to me that I not only wanted to write about friendship but an unsung hero in my book. This weekend I looked at the PRIDE (LGBTQ) Student Union Facebook event for its general body meeting and I flashed back to myContinue reading “You Know How the Story Goes. . .”
