How RUDE....

With Halloween this past weekend costumes were flooding social media like crazy. There were some that are funny, like the floppy dinosaur, and others were not. Like the one pictured to the right saying "This has won Halloween."
Let me make my viewpoint clear, this is NOT a Halloween costume. This is rude and disrespectful to all transgender people. For someone to have the audacity to dress up like this is completely baffling and a disgrace to mankind. I understand that our history has to been kind to everyone that has walked our earth but for a grown man to make fun of another human is unacceptable.
Halloween costumes have become something I no longer like to wear. As a society costumes are becoming more provocative, personal, and less about the spirit of dressing up. Since when to Disney princesses wear mini skirts?
It is a shame that our society is still dealing with these issues. When will people understand that if someone else's happiness doesn't interfere with yours then let good alone?

Yes Taylor Swift, I'm Feelin' 22 too!

Recently, as of last Wednesday (Oct.28) I turned another year older. It doesn't change anything but the number, yet somehow I feel different. Twenty-two brings the maturity that has always been there, but now that past the "party age" I feel more is expected of me. It's hard to explain but since this was not a milestone it didn't feel as important. Normally I am the person that celebrates her birthday for a week. This year however I just didn't want to.
My birthday was still great. I had friends over that I haven't seen in a while. We ate some pizza and watched some Netflix in bed. It very relaxing, and I didn't need an extravagant party.
So far 22 has been good to me, and I can't wait to see what it has to offer. I am nervous but excited to see what the year brings.
