She's More Than My Mom, She's My Best Friend

My constant pillar of strength, support, and sarcasm.

She's More Than My Mom, She's My Best Friend
Jyoti Kumar

In This Article:

We all have friends, some from high school some from college, some from our neighborhood and so on.

While we may be close to some and see some occasionally, we all have our best friends. our close circle who we confide in, our person. I believe my "best friend"- my people - are my family.

Especially my mother.

Jyoti Kumar

While I may not be home now, my mother is still my go-to person.

Whether it is for something good or something bad. when I am in crisis or having a panic attack the first person who I turn to is my mother.

She is the person who listens to me vent about the tiniest inconveniences I have had in my day and the person I turn to when I do not know what to do when something goes wrong.

She is the person who is always down for a good gossip session and the person who will provide me with a dose of sarcastic comments when I am too hyper and need something to bring me down.

Jyoti Kumar

She is the person who will listen to me go on and on about how something or someone is bothering me or how much I need something. She is the person who will shout at me (even today when I am almost 21) and instill me with some sense when I do not know what to do.

She will readily psycho-analyze me and tell me what is wrong with me and what I need to do.

She will listen to me cry and whine always and be there for me even when I annoy her and need her all the time.

While these may seem like things every mother does it means even more to me because she does it from 8,270 miles away.

Jyoti Kumar

Although I may be out of my house, I am still pretty close to my family and make sure that I talk to them as much as I can. But at the end of the day, the truth is that there is the distance between us and how much ever I try, there are certain events now that I cannot be a part of.

One such event is birthdays and celebrations in general.

For the people who know, they know that I love birthdays. Be it my birthday, my friends and family's birthday whoever is celebrating their birthday, I am always excited about it.

This week is my mothers work week and all I can say is thank you for always being there Amma! thanks for being my go-to person, my constant, my rock.

Happy birthday and I love you and miss you even more.

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.
