Just Because I'm Quiet, Doesn't Mean I'm Sad

For the people that think they know you better then you know yourself.

Just Because I'm Quiet, Doesn't Mean I'm Sad
Rhiannon Tylutki

It is an interesting experience when someone decides they know you better then you do, and tells you who you are and what you ought to be. If darkness is your only companion, you wouldn't know it to be dark. It would simply be natural and a normal surrounding. It is light which brings awareness to the darkness, and it is a calm which brings way to the storm. If we didn't have a bright tomorrow, we wouldn't know yesterday as dark, and you've never known happiness till you've danced in the rain.

In Poland, the summer rains are warm and quick, and feel as though it were more of a comforting blanket. I think about how there are only a handful of people that I've let into my life, and of those it still feels as though no one really knows me.

I put up walls and a face, and I am exited and loud and energetic... because if I weren't I would be faced with constant questions of what is wrong and why I am sad. When I am quiet, I'm not sad... usually. I'm just thoughtful or trying to relax. But I have to put up this sassy, happy front, because if I don't and I just want to read a little everyday, its as if I'm depressed. I'm not. I'm just an introvert, no matter how loud or relatively comfortable I am making a fool of myself in front of random people I do or do not know. It makes no difference, I am still introverted, and I still have to be alone to regenerate my energy and will to be around people.

Sincerely Yours,

Rajanka T

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.

Cambio

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.
