Do Not Say Goodbye | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

This is always the hardest part, for most of us. Let us try something different. Rather than saying "Goodbye" say "See you later."

How CLICHE was that. Although, it is a powerful cliche which we should live by.

Do not make goodbyes unbearable. Make them something to countdown to. Spend every waking moment you can while you still have your loved ones with you.

Time is the most valuable thing but too often we run away from time. We fear deadlines. Instead, be grateful for time. If you are reading this right now you are alive. Am I correct? Yes, you are alive which means time is present, you are present, moments are present, now go live in the moment.

When the crooked creepy clock ticks on you do not shun it. Look time in the eye and kill it with kindness. Tell time you are unbelievably grateful for them. Time gives you the ability to go out and make memories with those you care for.

As the deadline sneaks up on you make a list of all you want to experience before the wicked deadline.

Grab your family and friends and adventure. Check those boxes off your list.

Tell time you will see them later!

For some of us, the deadline for leaving home is coming soon. We are headed off to school, new homes, new adventures, overall new beginnings. Please do not be scared of what's to come. Be grateful for change. Change is exciting, it allows us to enter new parts of our lives that we can love and learn from. When it comes time to hug and kiss our loved ones as we head out the door, wish them the best. Do not dare say "Goodbye," say "I am grateful for the time spent with you. I wish us both happiness and protection. See you later."

Ready. Set. GO.

Move on to your new journey with gratitude and an open mind. This life is too short to be anything but grateful. Now is the time to go with the flow of universal energy, speak your desires into the universe and watch yourself begin to manifest all you desire. The universe does not know yes or no it only knows energy. So spread all the good energy and you will receive the same energy back.

Keep that same energy - positive energy.

Are you ready? Ready to make your countdown list. Grab the pen and paper. You can even glam it up. If you want, add some scratch and sniff stickers to your list. Make this a dope list filled with funky colors and boxes you will check off as you spend your time doing what makes you happy.

I know time is frightening but living in fear of the unknown is exhausting. Fear is an energy sucker. It sucks all of the good energy right out of us unless we face it with an open heart.

I challenge you to make the most of your time before your "See you later" deadline.

Spend your last moments with the people who make you hungry for life as you chase life head-on, never looking back.

You are like a seed. You have been planted in one garden but whose to say flowers do not bloom if you plant them someplace else.

Take a deep breath and go bloom wherever this electrifying life may take you.

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.
