You Need To Hear This

Do not fight change because it sometimes bores discomfort.

It's okay to change.

There is no need to stay stagnant. Sometimes times come that challenge a way of living we once thought to be the only way to live. That is okay. Different can be scary but it is not synonymous with demise, it signals growth.

Do not let the fear of change prevent you from breaking free of the people who push you in any direction but up. Do not fear to leave a fickle love for the momentary discomfort. Do not fear to move in a direction different from those around you. Each path is different for a reason. Had we all been placed upon the same path, we would hardly live a life at all.

The most important change I made in my life was the elimination of comfort. I have learned, especially in terms of my faith, that nothing extraordinary happens on the terms of one's comfortability. To be comfortable is to be lazy and laziness is a sure sign you aren't reaching the full potential God has laid out for you. But when we challenge ourselves to change, that is when God will work wonders in our lives.

We were not born to simply stay the same. We were created to grow and to prosper in a way that only the human race can. Each day we are all ever changing, we are learning lessons and taking risks. We are challenging ourselves all in the pursuit of becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be.

Our greatest enemy is fear, that voice in our head that says we can be who we want to be, or that we are nothing without a certain person that we have left overshadow ourselves. CHANGE that.

Do not let the fear of who you may appear to be to someone else change you into something you aren't. Embrace change and mold it into the life you want, rather than fighting it and letting the absence of it mold you. No one great stopped going for what they wanted for fear of change, you are great. Neither should you.

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.

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!
