Why you shouldn't loose the child in you.

As we grow older, we tend to lose the child in us. Of course, every year we're getting older and older, but that doesn't mean that we can't still act like a kid every once in a while. I heard something that truly intrigued me this week. Someone said, "we should accept Christ as a child accepts each and everything you tell them immediately without questioning it."

This really struck me. It struck me so much because it's completely and utterly true. Once we start growing and experiencing the world for ourselves, we often come up with our own opinions and think all too logically about every single thing. Instead of placing our faith in Jesus, we question his existence.

I know I'm not the only one when I say that it is truly difficult to cast all your worries on the Lord and let him take it from there, but we should. Not only should we put our trust in the Lord, but we should carry over our childlike innocence into our daily lives period. We were put on this earth for a reason so, why should we spend it stressed out, and angry all the time.

We should security in the fact that we are where we're supposed to be in our life, and it's not anyone else's life but our own. So why not live it up? Why not experience everything you possibly can, and trusting that the Lord has your back. He is always there, 100% of the time. Even when you don't think he is, he's there.

Why is it so hard for us to relinquish control of our life, and accept things as a child would without question and as live as carefree as a child. Of course, there are things that we do actually have to worry about that kids don't, but there's no use in being worried all the time, especially about the things we can't change. So if there's anything you take from this, it's that we should have childlike faith and know that the Lord is our protector and in Him, we're more secure then we will ever know. For, "life is a game, play it; Life is a challenge, meet it; Life is an opportunity, capture it." - Unknown

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.
