Dear Childhood Best Friend,

First of all, let's give all the credit here to our awesome parents who thought we would be the best of friends — you were right! Thank you for putting us two unique kids together.

I have been so blessed to have had the same best friend throughout my 18 short years of life, or 17, really. From way before I can remember, we were always together. We have made so many unforgettable memories. From the yearly beach trips, Sunday afternoon playdates, and the all-too-familiar sonic trips. I have been so blessed with having the same person to get through every day with throughout my life.

Thank you for always believing in me. Growing up, you have always been behind me 100 percent. On the other hand, most of the times you encouraged me I was probably doing something I wasn't supposed to be (like chasing you with the four wheeler) but hey — you never learn unless you try, right?

Thank you for being a part of my family, and vice versa. I am forever thankful for the family Easters at your house, the Thanksgiving dinners, and the endless birthday parties. I was always treated like a part of the family, and I am so thankful for that. On the other hand, thank you for being a part of my family! Thank you for taking repetitive beach pictures with me, staying the night so we could play in the snow, and going to family dinners with me because I just wasnt ready for you to go home.

Thank you for being the person everyone gets me confused with. Although I've yet to figure this one, I wouldn't want to be confused with anyone else!

Thank you for being my sidekick! Thank you for being that one person that was always beside me. Everyone knew where there was one of us, the other was close.

Thank you for being my walking closet. I cannot begin to count the clothes I have that are yours, and vice versa. I'm sure they even themselves out respectively.

But most importantly, thank you for still being my best friend! Through all of the ups and downs, you've always been right here! Thank you for still being that person I can call when i need someone. Even when that need is so small, you're always here. Most people don't have the luxury of being able to have the same best friend all of their life, but I'm so glad I do! In fact, you have to be the only person that I let steal my clothes, so you must be pretty special! Thank you for making my life a little bit easier, and a lot more fun!

I will always love you and promise to always be your best friend!

Love,

Your Forever Friend

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.

After turning 16, our parents start to push us to get a job and take on some responsibility. We start to make our own money in order to fund the fun we intend on having throughout the year. But what happens when you've officially become so obsessed with making money that you can't even remember the last day you had off? You, my friend, have become a workaholic. Being a workaholic can be both good and bad. It shows dedication to your job and the desire to save money. It also shows that you don't have a great work-life balance. Here are the signs of becoming a workaholic.
