Why Life Is Scary And What We Need To Do About It
We Heart It

Time. That is what's scary about life. Time goes by with a blink of an eye. You may hear this a lot, but it is true. It makes you want to wish everything could slow down for a bit. The sad reality is that it's not going to slow down. You may think at this moment your life is moving pretty slow, but honey, it is only going by faster. I want to talk about this because there are a few things I believe we should do since life goes by pretty fast without us even knowing.

The first thing I highly encourage everyone to do is to spend time with loved ones--family and friends. I know, this is pretty cheesy but it couldn't be any truer. In regards to your family, you should cherish the moments spent with them because it sadly may not happen in the future. In regards to your friends, just enjoy every moment you get with them. Stop staring at your phone and actually spend quality time with them because friends come and go in life--who knows the friends you have now may not be there for you in the future.

Do what you love. If you're stuck at a loser job where you get paid a loser income, just stop. Stop working there. Do something with your life and go find a better job where you will get the amount you should be getting paid. Life is too short to flip burgers at a fast food restaurant (I know not all of you probably flip burgers but you get what I'm saying!) You deserve so much better than that.

Life is way too short, so why not be adventurous? This world is so huge and there is so much that needs to be explored, by you! You'll learn a lot about the planet you live in and also learn a lot about yourself too by being adventurous. If you don't have the money now to do such a thing, then save up! Save up those moolahs because in the end you will know it was worth it.

Another thing you should consider is to get out of your comfort zone. Go do something that scares you. Again, life is too short. It's too short to hide underneath your covers and not do stuff that will give you the thrills. Stop being so scared and overcome your fears. If it's going to take some time for you to get out of your comfort zone then that's totally fine. Just give it a while and work on overcoming your fears.

Life does go by super fast and it's about time we start taking some actions because time is not going to slow down for us. It's not going to slow down for anybody.

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! 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.
