I Am Not A Replaceable Friend

"You said you'd always be there for me; I guess we had different definitions of always."

I Am Not A Replaceable Friend

I am not replaceable.

I am not the friend who you can just use until I become worn out and deemed no longer necessary in your life. There will be nothing that could replace my respect and time with you through all that we have done together.

I love the late-night drives, the gossip about exes or school work and how our friendship is one of a kind. It seems like it could last forever, that we’ll grow old into time with our friendship. In my own belief, I could not see ever replacing you or anyone in my life. Everyone I associate with I stick with, but it seems so hard for someone who can’t return the favor.

Maybe it’s because you’ve found better or someone who doesn’t have as many issues and problems. It could just be that perhaps you’ve gotten sick of seeing the same face so often. Whatever the reason is, to move on to another person and leave behind someone who respected and cherished you most is harsh.

If there was more communication, maybe things could have been solved before resulting in abandonment. Reaching out and speaking emotions does so much for understanding each other in any type of relationship, even through friendship. But, I know that in my heart I am not replaceable.

You will not find another me, someone who is willing to take a call any time of the day, someone who will listen to your issues and try to guide you with the best advice possible. I will no longer be able to help you out when times get tough and let you laugh at my humor. I am humble and understanding and I understand, even if it hurts, that everyone moves on eventually.

Greater advances in life will take you different places, I get it. But when you leave good people out of your life who were there from the start because of your “new” preferences, just remember that you can never replace them.

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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
