I know I know everyone loves their family but I'm pretty sure my family is the best one out there. Now, of course, we might have our flaws but that's what makes us unique. So here's to my crazy yet beautiful family.

Hey peeps ;)

Thanks for always being there for me and showing me endless love and support. Without you all, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the person I am today. You each have taught me how to be independent and to do my best at everything I do. I'm so thankful for having each an every one of you in my life and to guide me down this crazy thing called life.

I just want to give a special shout-out to my parents, especially my mom. Tula has taught me how to be so independent. I admire you so much mama and I can't tell you how much I am thankful to have you as my mom. Even though you do fight me on certain things, I'm glad you're always there to tell me when I'm wrong.

Now my life wouldn't be half as fun without my crazy siblings, did I mention I have 13 of them lol. I just want to say that I'm so thankful to have y'all in my life and I'm thankful for all the memories we have together. From playing slap to watching scary movies together to playing hide and go seek in the dark (we are never playing that again), to literally just jamming in the car, we always know how to have fun and y'all are the reason that my childhood was literally the best. I miss you guys each and every day and I can't wait to see all of you soon!!!! Also, shout out to my 1000000 cousins. Life literally wouldn't be the same without you guys. Even though you guys are my cousins, I see you as my brothers and sisters. I can't wait for the next family reunion where we can all come together and make more memories.

Now a family wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention all of my aunts and uncles. You guys are literally the craziest yet most loving people I have ever met in my entire life. No matter the distance, I always know that you are there for me. Also, thanks for commenting on all of my pictures, I love my fans <3333 I can't wait to see you guys again and for you to teach me more Samoan (cause mom won't lol).

To my family around the world, thank you so much for being there for me and constantly pushing me to be my best. Y'all are the reason why I am the way I am.

Love,

Molly <33333

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.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

Queen B sums it up for us.

Sometimes, we just can't help the feelings we have

1. Wow. My voice sounds amazing with this song.

2. Okay, if you can't sing, don't do it.

3. But wait, I don't think I can be friends with someone who isn't going to jam out in the car with me.

4. Dance part in the car! Even when I'm alone. Because every song is my favorite.

5. Stop light. Act calm. Be cool.

6. Yes! Green light! Back at it!

7. I don't know this song, but I'm going to sing along anyway.

8. Why am I not famous yet?

9. Being next to someone who can't sing so you feel good about yourself because you rock!

10. OK, I'm so good. I need to sing louder so I can help these people out.

11. My voice doesn't reach some of those notes, maybe I should sit this one out.

12. Randomly bursting out in song and getting weird looks because of it.

13. God, thank you so much for giving me a good voice.

14. Man, I feel bad for people who can't sing.

20. Having my own personal concert in the shower. Every single time.

Normal people wouldn't understand

4. Only having to hit the snooze button three times.

5. When you didn't do the homework and the teacher decides not to collect it for that day.

6. Getting that "I'm sorry, but class is cancelled" email.

7. Finding a quiet seat in the library.

8. Actually enjoying a class and understanding all of the material.
