Balancing Hobbies: Relationships

It is an extremely hard task balancing a busy, task loaded life and a relationship with someone you love and cherish. You know what needs to be done, but you also want to give the person you care about all of your time and attention. I want to talk about the relationship that I recently just experienced that unfortunately crashed and burned with an unrelenting fury and never ending burning passion. Loving someone is extremely difficult when you are overburdened with a large amount of schoolwork and other overwhelming responsibilities such as work, healthy living habits, or other things that consume your time or space. Being there for someone is difficult and if you do not want to make the sacrifices, then you do not need to be someone else's "love."

Making the conscious decision to care about someone else is an important decision. Whether you know if you are ready or not is something that you need to feel in your hear, in your mind, and in your soul. Believing whether or not you are ready cones from a deep decision inside yourself that you have to be sure whether or not you can allow room inside for another person's existence. Making compromises, having arguments, growing as an individual and as a couple; these are all things that you need to be sure you are ready for as an adult who is trying to accept someone else in your life and your heart.

It is very obvious that I am someone who recently went through a breakup if you cannot tell. I am somebody who wishes that the person who made promises and someone who told me everything that I wanted to hear was someone who wanted to be with me for real. The things you say tom someone in moments of compassion and vulnerability are meaningful and they believe you when you make promises of compassion and love. I believe love is an important part of growing and becoming an adult.

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.
