my bio.

I'm Will. 

A 21 year old college student with passions for music, film, photography, the environment, LGBTQ culture, and much more. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, with one sister and both of my parents. Early on in my life, I knew I would need to leave home one day to find a new one. At best, I felt that Atlanta was fun to explore with some great friends. At worst, I felt that my true voice was suppressed down to a faint whimper at times. College presented an opportunity for me to make my escape to a place where I felt that I could be more true to myself . Santa Barbara came to the rescue. Ever since I moved to California, I have changed more drastically than I did during the 18 years of my life prior to college. Leaving my claustrophobic past behind, I was finally able to accept some undeniable truths about myself. I was just a scared, somewhat closeted gay teenager who needed to feel accepted and loved more than anything. I now feel that acceptance and love more than I ever have. My life's journey, while not always easy, has made me who I am today. Looking back on everything, I wouldn't change a thing.
