Growing up, I never believed people when they said the friends I will meet in college are going to be my best friends for forever on. Until now.

So here it is. A letter to my first college best friend.

You have become my everything in such a short amount of time. A year ago I would have never thought that we would be this close. I never thought I would meet my lifelong best friend this soon and I am so happy I did. In such a short amount of time, you have helped me through so much. Whether you know it or not, you are truly my rock. Through the good and the bad times, I can always count on you to yell at me when I am wrong but to also be a shoulder to cry on when I need one. Although we fight so much about stupid little things, I am so happy to have you. I love our pointless arguments. I love our random life talks about what we will be doing after college. I love thinking about the future with you. I love sharing the same passion with you. I love sitting on our phones next to each other in the same room without even saying anything. I love binge watching Netflix with you. I love eating immense amounts of food with you and then complaining about how much we just ate. I love setting goals with you. I love getting excited about life with you. I love succeeding with you. I love our pictures. I love our conversations. I love our heart to hearts. I love everything about you and this friendship. This is unique and strong friendship that I will cherish forever no matter what happens and I promise you that.

Thank you for seeing the good in me when all I can see is the negatives. Thank you for being a friend who has not walked away when I needed you the most. Thank you for talking me out of the bad decisions you know I will regret in the long run. You know me better than myself and I love that.

Wherever life takes us I know I will always have a friend by my side to get through the tough times. I know I’ll always have a friend to laugh with, to cry with. I will also always have a friend that will tell me exactly what I need to hear even if it's not what i want to hear.

I promise to always pick you up when you are down and to yell at you when you need it. I promise to remind you how much you are worth when you feel worthless. I promise to always go on crazy adventures with you. I promise to spend money on food even though we specifically agreed that we wouldn't. I promise to be that person for you just as you have for me, through everything. I promise you remind you how strong you are when you feel weak. I promise to listen to you. I promise to be there when the world feels like is falling apart in your arms. Most importantly I promise to always be a best friend.

Thank you for everything.

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.
