How Music Changed My Life

Music inspired me to do so many things..

I refuse to let my thoughts control me. I hate how I overthink to the point of tears, or how I avoid the main topic of why I'm overthinking. I choose to let music speak for me half the time because it can honestly fit 99% of the time to any situation I may be in.

Music tends to speak when words fail for me, something many can relate to-but only some let it be apart of themselves. It describes feelings as well as emotions, and how one can connect with another is amazing. All of this just due to various sounds, beats, and melodies which turn into something meaningful, each genre able to effect a person in numerous ways.

I feel when I sing, I express not only myself- but my emotions. It's a creative outlet, just like writing itself is too. You can put so much passion and drive into a single song or even a single lyric.

Then again, you cannot let these words and melodies define who you are. You are the only one who can let yourself succeed, whether the lyrics guide you or you decide to use your own voice.

I've always been the girl who's outgoing. Many people would say I'm a person who wants to make the most of everything along with help everyone. Music is a creative way for me to create conversation, friendships, and even just ease any mood.

Music has gotten me over breakups, helped inspire me to continue doing great things, helped motivate me, to relax, and well, to even become a better version of myself. I've built up more confidence, along with being able to express myself through singing and learning about different rhythms, beats, and melodies.

Whether I wake up with an upbeat and happy song, or end up dancing my way into getting ready, music has always been a great outlet and I wouldn't change it for the world.

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.
