To The People Who Doubt Me

You are the reason why I get up in the morning, determined to succeed.

To The People Who Doubt Me
Caity Martinez

You are the reason why I push even harder to be the very best I can be. You are the reason why I get up in the morning, determined to succeed.

Your doubts have nothing on me.

This is my life and I am going to live it the way I want. I will not let your opinions, nor your judgment, stop me from it.

I am 20 years old. I know I am bound to make mistakes and take the wrong turns. It's all a part of growing up and finding who I am. There are going to be goals and dreams you may not agree with or think will not work out for me.

But you are not me. You do not walk in my shoes. You do not see from my perspective. You have not seen or been through the things that I have.

My wishes, dream, and wants in life, I feel with every part of my being. Deep within my soul.

I want to write a book at one point in my life. I dream to have a family of my own. I wish to change a person's life in a positive way.

I am using platforms like YouTube, blogging, Odyssey, and social media to spread positivity and light and to show people they are never alone. That they are beautiful, amazing, and deserve everything they want in this world because it is completely and utterly true.

If you don't agree with my views or opinions, it is very easy to ignore and keep going on with your life. In the end, I am going to pursue whatever I choose in life.

If it's researching in a lab, being a genetic counselor, a blogger, a writer, or all the above, it is none of your damn business.

I am going to live my life filled with so much love and happiness, knowing I made those choices.

Your doubts will not stop me from me from being truly content with myself.

I may change my mind over the years and go through situations that may develop new dreams and goals, but it will be all based on me.

Your doubts will not hinder me from achieving the unimaginable, and you are just going to have to deal with it.

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.

Cambio

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! 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.
