  You can not install your own theme on wordpress.com.
  You’ll have to choose one of those 169 free or premium themes.

  This is the result of clicking your username:

  orsatexmedia.wordpress.com doesn’t exist
  Do you want to register orsatexmedia.wordpress.com?

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com to get FTP access. If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.org and self host it.
