Music has always been a huge part of my life. I remember the stereo always playing in my house when I was young, in fact it was probably on more than the TV. Words can't even begin to describe how therapeutic music is for me. If I'm struggling or having a bad day, I turn on music. If something super awesome has just happened in my life, I turn on music. Music just has a way of speaking to me, and sometimes for me. I always seem to figure out my life (kind of) in the middle of a good tune.

So, here are some songs that speak multitudes to me on good days and bad days. These songs have helped me through so much. Take a listen, I hope they speak to you, and maybe even help you.

1. "Happier" by Bastille

if the lyrics don't hit you in the feels the music video sure will. Not only does this song have a good beat but the lyrics are so meaningful and easy to reconcile with.

2. "God Bless This Mess" by Jillian Jacqueline

I just recently discovered this song and artist, and I LOVE her work. This particular song just really resonates with me. It helps me to remember that even if life doesn't always work out the way we plan it, that's okay, because God blesses us anyway.

3. "You Say" by Lauren Daigle

This song has such a special place in my heart. Lauren Daigle is an amazing artist, and her songs hit me so deep in the feels, because most of them talk about how God loves us right where we are. This song is beautiful because it compares the lies we tell ourselves to the truth that God tells us, which is that we are enough, just as we are. This song always picks me up when I'm down and restores my faith in myself and the life God has given me.

4. "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron ft. Pheobe Bridgers

First of all, Lord Huron is my absolute FAVORITE band. Their songs always have a way of calming me down, because the melody is so soft and calm. This song in particular has such meaningful words, all while being accompanied by a beautiful harmony between the band and Phoebe Bridgers. Take a listen. I'm willing to bet that you'll feel a bit more calm once you've finished listening to it.

5. "Springsteen" by Eric Church

If you want a good country-feeling song, then this one is for you. Not only to I love this song because of the melody and rhythm, but it is also the anthem of fiance and me. We plan to play this song for our first dance at our wedding next fall.

6. "La Belle Fleur Sauvage" by Lord Huron

Another great song by Lord Huron. This song was actually the very first song of theirs that I heard. I love this song, because it always, always, always calms me down. It also just makes me feel so good whenever I listen to it.

7. "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert

Wow, the lyrics of this song are so meaningful--not only to Miranda, but to me as well. This song makes me think of my parents and all that they have done for me. They have truly raised me in a wonderful house and given me so many opportunities, so when Miranda sings, "If I could just come in I swear I'll leave / Won't take nothing but a memory / From the house that built me," it hits me right in the feels.

8. "Mess Is Mine" by Vance Joy

I love everything about this song, from the melody to the lyrics. Vance Joy is a wonderful artist with an amazing voice; there hasn't been a single song of his that I haven't liked, although this one definitely takes the cake as my favorite.

9. "Tiger Striped Sky" by Roo Panes

I can't really describe why I like this song so much, besides that fact that, when I listen to it, I just feel a deep, deep connection. It's a very calming and moving song, one that I could listen to on repeat for hours. Plus, it has a very Autumn-esque vibe to it, making it an instant winner.

10. "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and The Machine

I really don't think I need to explain why I love this song so much, but I will anyways. First of all, the beat--dang, I could jam to it all day long. Second, the lyrics are so empowering and uplifting. I always listen to this song when I want to pump myself up, and it helps me to remember that better days will always come.

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.
