In the everyday buzz that goes on with all of us, yes you. The one reading this article because you see something that is relatable. We all have these crazy thoughts that go through our minds as well as being insecure about certain things in our everyday lives.

With being said, let's jump right into the swing of things.

The things that I have found myself thinking about lately is my health and love. Two of the most talked about topics at family gatherings and group texts with friends. We all get the same spill every. single. time. Like, we get it. We are alone and a little on the chunky side, now please leave me alone, Sharon. It is just the smallest things that we can take with us and really put a damper on the way that we behave and react to others asking us those close things, such as, how is your health? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you exercising? Are you dating? When are you ever going to settle down and stop spending money like you are Beyonce? My question to all these questions is, why? Why are these the main things that individuals ask us on a daily basis? Why is the first topic of discussion always whether we are being more active in our health and our love life?

We may never have the answers to all of these questions for the Sharon's and the Jim's at the family gatherings, but we do have the right not to answer directly when we are uncomfortable with the question at hand or really just do not want to be bothered with the constant nagging.

So my challenge to you my friend is to not be so worried about the small things in life. Health and love are things that we can see as a priority but we are in such a specific walk in life that we necessarily don't need for it to take up so much time and space in our minds. So next time you see someone running on the sidewalk or a couple holding hands walking to class make sure that you know you are valued and loved no matter what Sharon at family gatherings seems to think. You got this now go rock it out!!

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.

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.
