Dear Money, I Hate You

Sincerely the girl who just wants to love life for what it is worth

Dear Money, I Hate You
ABC News

Dear Money,

You make people ugly. You make people think they need material objects instead of experience. You make society think that love has a price. And for all these things and more I hate you.

I hate the way people become ugly when you (money) is involved. Dollar signs now fill peoples eyes instead of the compassion filling peoples' hearts. Why not give that homeless man a few dollars? Is it really fair to say that he is going to buy drugs with it? Maybe just maybe he is lonely and wants 3 minutes of you time but instead you keep walking by with your head up acting like you never saw him. Money I hate the way you divide this country. We are are human; we should want the best for those who also inhabit this Earth with us.

I hate the way that you make people only feel worthy only when they have a lot of money. Because I can promise the best souls are worth more money than anyone could ever have the amount of cash for.

I hate the way a pay raise is chosen after an experience of going on a vacation.

I am so sorry this article seems so negative, I just think we need a wake up call because the people around us are not always going to be there and we only have one life. So stop worrying about the dollar. Take that vacation. Take a few days off to spend with your cousins. Take a minute and go outside to smell the flowers instead of downloading a flower wallpaper on your phone.

Living > money. Realize this!!

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.
