We get wound up and forget sometimes

1. REMEMBER

to love always.

Your feelings, questions, ideas and thoughts are valued and valid.

You do not need another person to validate them for you.

They are real the moment you feel them.

2. THINK

Think about what kind of person you want to be.

What kind of person do you want to show the world?

What kind of person do you want to keep to yourself?

Become the type of person you'd like to confide in .

3. KNOW

that seeing some one and interacting with someone everyday doesn't effect the importance of the relationship.

They will stay if they wish to.

4. GO

Literally just go.

Do it.

See you when you get back, you will be okay.

5. FAMILY

Whoever they may be (blood related or not), if they're important enough for you to call them family and mean it, they will take care of you, always. Don't doubt them.

6. ABSORB

You choose what you let in.

Absorb the things in this world that you want in your mind, body and soul.

Unwanted emotions and thoughts will try to make their way in.

Try your best to push them away.

7. FEAR

You'll always have it, because you're human.

Find strength to keep moving through fear and making it work to your advantage.

Conquer it.

---

These are just a few things I have found that help me keep the peace inside my head.

Sometimes we get so wound up as humans, we tend to forget the basics.

We can love so hard sometimes and not receive love back in the same way.

Often times that can be misread for something negative, but in reality, we need to just stop and breathe and think about our situation.

One day life is serious, the next day it is lax.

It's hard to keep up.

I see these things in the list above as life basics.

Although some are just common sense, I feel like in a busy life, we forget the little things.

I hope you feel loved today, friends.

You deserve 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.

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.
