Love Me Like Spring
Lauren Simonds

When you love me, love me as if your heart chambers have been crystalized in ice, and are just now starting to thaw. Love me as if all you know are the long cold nights of winter, and as if you’ve never felt gentle sunrays kiss your skin. If you love me, then love me bud by blooming bud, and watch in awe as each one unfolds at its own delicate pace. Be wonderstruck by the wind of my breath, and let wanderlust lead you to wherever that wind takes you. If you love me, love me as the sun loves the flowers. For the sun watches tenderly as each pink, purple, and white petal reveals itself slowly to the sun’s eager and awaiting gaze. Love me as I am spring, and then love me as I turn to summer. Love me as my unpredictable storms slowly turn into constant warm days. Love me as I find myself, and become steady. In return, I will love you as I love autumn, then winter. I will bask in your beauty as each leaf turns into a color so unique, God must make a new shade to describe it. I will love your bare branches and cold nights, because it takes so much strength to make yourself vulnerable. When you are feeling empty, I will point up to the sky and show you the glow of the trillions of stars we haven’t seen until now. Love me in my entirety, for I promise to have already loved you in yours since the beginning of time. Love me like spring, and I will love you for life.

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.
