An Open Thank You Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

Man, those were the days.

I don't know a better way to start this letter than with a simple thank you.

Thank you for every single laugh and every single memory. I can't seem to think of a single memory of my childhood when you were not there.

Thank you for the sleepovers when we said we were gonna pull an all-nighter but fell asleep at 10:30.

Thank you for talking about ugly boys with me.

Thank you for making cup song videos with me.

Thank you for helping me prank call my parents at work when you were over.

Thank you for the impromptu photo shoots in the tree in my backyard.

Thank you for creating dance routines with me to the crazy popular High School Musical hits.

Thank you for taking the most awkward pictures with me (that for some reason are still on our Facebook accounts).

Thank you for being you. Thank you for making me laugh until I couldn't breathe. From sitting right next to each other in elementary school to going our separate ways in middle school, the weekends were always the best because that meant that we got to hang out.

I know we haven't seen each other in over three years and I know we don't even really talk anymore, but remembering all of the over-a-decade of memories that we share will ALWAYS be something to make us both laugh until we cry.

Childhood best friend, you are a huge reason why I am the person I am today. You taught me how to have fun, how to laugh until I got abs, and how to hold my breath underwater until I almost passed out.

But most of all, thank you for being the person that I can always count on. Whether we talked the night before or whether I need you tomorrow, thank you for always being there to talk, laugh, and cry with me.

You are truly fantastic. I will always love you dearly,

your forever best 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.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

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.
