10 Reasons Why You Need To Love Yourself

Psych Central

Recently, I've been doing a lot of intense, and kind of heavy articles, so this week I want to lighten it up a bit. I'm going to give you ten reasons why you're a queen or king or whatever it is you want to be. Sometimes we get super down on ourselves and we forget why we're special and that we are important. Here's ten reasons why you're so amazing, and why you need to embrace who you are.

1. There is no one else like you

Who you are is who you are. You are no one else, and that is extremely special. Be who you are, embrace it, and love every moment of it.

2. Your quirkiness is what makes you stand out

Don't feel embarrassed of your quirks because they make you who you are, and that's something to be proud of!

3. You are talented!

Everyone has their own special talent! Don't ever forget that special quality about yourself, and don't take that away from yourself. You really are awesome!

4. You are strong

Everyone goes through tough times, but when you overcome that, it is so unbelievable. Be proud of overcoming all the hard times you've endured.

5. Don't let anyone bring you down

Don't let other people's negativity bring you down. You have the power to remove the bad energy out of your life. Keep all positive vibes in your life!

6. Don't put yourself down

You deserve to be happy. Let yourself soak in all the love and happiness in your life, don't tell yourself you don't deserve that.

7. Accept your flaws

I know this is extremely difficult for every human being, but once you start to accept your flaws, you will become happier, and you will see the change within yourself!

8. Learn to take compliments

Don't be afraid to say thank you for something someone thinks is great about you! Believe them, they mean what they are saying about you, take the compliment...TAKE IT!

9. When you're having a great day, celebrate that

Just be happy. Let yourself celebrate what a great day you're having and share that with some amazing people too.

10. Be who you are and embrace it

Emma Stone says it all. Just be who you are and you WILL be so happy and you'll be on a path to endlessly happy, exciting, and wonderful 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.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

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.
