Even if it takes us time to find it, we will get there.

Beauty In Us
The Daily Quotes

This goes out not only to the lovely beautiful ladies around me but to my beautiful peers who are doubting themselves at this moment. Whether it's because of a boy, parents, school, anything. Remember that we are all here for a reason even if we haven't found that reason yet. I know it all sounds cliche, but its true. We are all going through things that make us doubt ourselves, which is the best time to look back and think about everything that makes us great. We are all people with flaws and no one is perfect. Embrace that scar, love your uneven skin. Don't worry about that thigh gap that every girl wants.

We ladies as a whole are so caught up with the crap that society fills our heads with--like a certain body shape we should have, the certain weight we should be at, the perfect facial structure we should, or even what kind of clothes we should wear. All this makes us believe that we should all achieve the same standards, but how does that make sense when we are all different? Our individuality is what makes us unique so be a plus size and embrace it. So what if you don't have a defined cheek bone, or if your thighs rub against each other? These features make who you are.

To the ladies out there who feel like their world is going to end after a relationship. Remember something: a man who loves you wouldn't put you in a position to hurt. They obviously don't consider your emotions and what you're feeling. The feeling of hurt is temporary and you'll be fine as time passes. I'm not saying this just to make you feel better, I say this because I've lived through it. The aching pain in your heart, the late night cries, the anger felt that comes along with self-doubt and reminiscing of the beautiful moments that were shared. Been through it all; it takes patience and time but I believe it's worth being alone. It gives you time to learn things about yourself and it also shows the true colors of that one person you were with. Sometimes we are better without them. It opens up doors to new opportunities and think of it this way, at one point you didn't know them and you were still living, and if you did it then you can do it now. I know this rule only applies to a certain extent, but what I'm trying to say is you're going to be okay, and in the mean time embrace your company and look toward what is ahead of you. Let go of the past and live in the moment.

And remember ladies, we all have a purpose in this world. Even if it takes us time to find it, we will get there and when we do, none of this is going to matter anymore and we can finally say we found our worth.

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.
