To the Girl Before Me

There are many things I could say to you and frankly I don't even know where to start. A part of me, a small very minuscule part of me, feels bad for you. You lost out on a great man. A man who would treat you like a princess. One of the sweetest most caring guys was at your fingertips willing to make you the happiest girl and you took every opportunity to walk all over him. Shoving your heels so far into his back, you never thought he'd be able to stand up for himself.

At that thought my blood start to boil and my insides twist in anger. You hurt him every chance you got, digging deep into his insecurities to make yourself feel better. You "didn't think he'd leave you?!" Well surprise, someone can only bend so far before they break. You are the worst kind of person who deserves the loneliness she creates for herself. It's comical watching you try and be a better person towards him to 'win him back' but the artificial behavior is quite transparent. As if those who are in this world were solely created with the purpose of serving you. Your entitlement to everything makes the ugliness on the outside ooze into your insides. You live in a fantasy world and one day the glass around your snow-globe life will shatter with the reality that your egotistical, attention seeking attitude will land you no where. Hold off on sending the invitations to the pity party though, because you only did it to yourself.

The true intent of this letter however, brings me an overwhelming sense of ease because I can't thank you enough for being horrible because I can now show him what he deserves; a woman who cherishes and loves him to no limits. You broke him down and now I get to build him back up with the love and support he needs. I get to love him in every way, and every day for the rest of life because you couldn't see what you had in front of you. Unlike you, I will make sure to appreciate every minute I have of him, of being his fiance and soon enough wife, a title you'll never know the feeling of having. I'll never let him feel like he is unworthy. He is more than worthy, sometimes I think he is worthy of way more than me and because of this I will strive to appreciate him more than you or any one else for that matter ever has. You had your chance to be with him and you treated him like a doormat. Years down the line I hope to come across you again to show you how an amazing happy life with the most wonderful man looks like because I'm sure you won't be experiencing anything close to it . Now it's my turn to love him and I promise I'll do a way better job then you ever did.

xoxo

the future Mrs.S

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.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
