To Be A Son

(7 Minute Read) Last month my friend asked me to write a guest post on her blog Dear Tizaporah for her “Fully Man” series. The series was centered around the question, “When did you realize you were becoming a man?” The following post is what I wrote: a letter to my thirteen-year-old self. If you […]

Black Lives Matter.

(10 Minute Read) If my Communication degree has taught me anything, it’s the importance of defining words and phrases to clarify communication before we start. When we say “Black Lives Matter”, what does that mean? It’s been a phrase that’s united millions of people across the world, and yet, the phrase has been villainized by […]

Someday is Today

(4 Minute Read) Since I was a little kid I’ve had an attraction to people. Not like a science-fiction connection, that would be weird. Although I wouldn’t mind being a character in Harry Potter.

Maybe You Can Relate

Before you start, I want you to know that this will take you ten minutes to read. I want to ask you to give it an undivided ten minutes. — I haven’t written in awhile, and there’s a reason for that. Over the past few months I’ve definitely thought about writing, and have even started writing […]

Healthy

I had two concussions this past year as a result of playing football, and if I’m being honest they have left me in a lot of pain. Not so much physically, although they brought headaches and pressure to my head, but more so mentally and emotionally. I’ve never had any diagnosed concussions until this year, […]
