9 Pictures of flowers to look at when you're stressed

Christina Whitehurst

Life can be stressful sometimes, and one thing that helps me the most when I am stressed to admire these interesting plants. I have tons folders on my computer that are full of photos of flowers and I want to give everyone the opportunity to destress for a few minute and look at these flowery pictures.

1.

I try to stop and take a picture every time I see plants or flowers no matter where I am or what I'm doing.

2.

Nine times out of ten, my phones screensaver is of some kind of plant or flower because it just makes me happy when I look at my phone.

3.

Tiny pineapple. Definitely not a flower.

Okay, so this one is not technically a flower, but it's still really cute right?!

4.

To me it's just so cool to know that these things are so delicate yet so beautiful. They depend on an entire ecosystem to thrive correctly and it amazes me everyday.

Flowers can make any ordinary place or thing look ten times more inviting and comfortable.

6.

Succulent

Again, not quit a flower, but it still gets the point across. Plants in general are great way to bring comfort and happiness into your home and life.

7.

Flowers at Golden Gate Park

To be honest, I don't even know the names of half of these flowers, I just wanted to share how genuinely pretty they are.

Anytime you are sad just think about how nice these tulips look. I promise it will help!

On top of all of the stress relieving qualities that flowers have, they also make pretty nice backdrops when you want to take cute photos for your Instagram. That's always a plus.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these pictures as much as I do, and I hope that the next time you get the chance, you will stop and smell the flowers, AND send me some pics of them while you're at it!

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.
