26 Songs To Boost Your Mood

So I've been reflecting on Depression lately. Recognizing that my depression had increased in the past few months was not only an understatement but helpful as to how I planned on combating it. You can't cure depression this way, and though I sometimes lay and pet my cat until the warm fuzzies pop up, this isn't a science. I have made a list, some from my own repertoire, and some music from my friends and family. This list is comprised of songs that can make you feel empowered, loved, excited, and potentially happy. (*Note: I, by no means, guarantee said happiness. If you're still unhappy... Buy a cat).

Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross

All Night - Icona Pop

Best Day Of My Life - American Authors

Born This Way - Gaga

Can't Stop The Feeling! - JT

Counting Stars - One Republic

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Coldplay

Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

Happy - Pharrell

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas

I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

Or This Gem

Just Like You - Falling In Reverse

Let It Be - The Beatles

Little Wonders - Rob Thomas

Pocketful Of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield

Shake It Off - UMFlint LGBT Parody

Shake It Off - T Swift

Shut Up And Dance - Walk The Moon

Skyscraper - Demi

Something Wild In The Wilderness - Lindsey Sterling Ft. Andrew McMahon

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - IZ

Still Breathing - Green Day

Stronger - Kelly Clarkson

Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves

We Will Carry On - City of Lions

I can't say that these songs will change your life, but they have proven (to me at the very least), that music is subjective. If it sounds upbeat, it will feel upbeat (more or less, if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it must be a duck). We will personalize each song to match where we're at in our lives and in our day; that's just how we work as humans, but I do hope that at least one of these songs brings about warm fuzzies.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
