An Open Letter To The Boy Who Isn't Ready

You’re reading this right now because I’ve called you out, the boy who has said, “I’m not ready for a relationship…” Well I am here to tell you, if you make her wait forever, she will not be there, the girl who is worth it will not wait forever, even if she claims she will.

In the past, she was always the one that wasn’t ready. She would leave and you always looked for a band-aid at a party or in your phone that would get you through the night. Now she’s finally ready and you are not. She is ready to take the next step and that terrifies you for many valid reasons. You are screwed up from your previous relationship, well aren’t we all? You know this would be real, so before you decide to make her wait and take the risk of her leaving for someone who is ready, or pull the plug out of fear of love I want you to think about a few things.

Would seeing her dance in another man’s arm make you want to punch out glass? Will you go crazy if you see her car? Can you make it through the night thinking about another man laying next to her, and holding her close? Can you imagine her not being in your life? If you can’t make it through these things, then you need to get your shit together before another man does.

You know she’s beautiful and when she walks into a room, men are staring straight at her. She has a smile that will light up the room and a personality that welcomes anyone in. You’ve seen it, guys walk straight up to her, made comments about taking a chance at her and you have had to fight them off. You know she could have any man in the room if she chose to, but she has chosen you. You have told all your friends who ask that you will eventually end up dating her when it’s the right time. They ask if you love her and you can’t lie, so you say yes. You know that girl cares more about you than any girl ever could; she has done more for you than she should because of how great she thinks you are.

The girl that is in your mind right now is there for a reason. You know she is worthwhile and anyone would be lucky to have her, you don’t even think you deserve her but guess what she still wants you. So if you can’t imagine her not being around, do something about it. Make sure she knows how much you care about her. Make that girl yours before another man does.

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.
