Letting Go

Letting go of those who hurt you

Letting Go
Mystical Christ

Letting go of important people in your life is tough. It can be a significant other, a best friend, a family member anyone. It is not easy. As easy it may seem to those that are letting go it isn't. It hurts to think of someone that has made you so happy and helped you through so much not being a part of your life in the same way anymore. But it hurts more to hold on to someone that is hurting you, or hold on to something you know isn't working.

We hold on to familiar things the thought of leaving our comfort zone is alarming. Having to start over with a new friend or significant other who has to learn of all your baggage and secrets is truly stressful and scary. The feeling of letting go though is empowering. It hurts trust me, but its truly empowering. It's empowering in the sense of you knowing what you want out of life or even need in life from a partner or friend.

Life is full of lesson, and letting go of things hurts, but sometimes it's better than holding on to it in the long run. Holding on to someone who you know your future won't work out with, or someone who is constantly dragging you down. Please do yourself the favor of letting go of it, and moving on. It wont be easy but you will feel a weight lifted off your shoulders. The saying is true, if they're meant to be in your life they'll come back. Fate will bring your paths back together if it truly is meant to be.

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.
