What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

Seriously, what do I do?

What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

Sometimes I sit back, and I take a deep look at life and all it involves. Everyone around seems to know their place in life. While I am looking at them thinking they have their lives together, they are probably looking at me thinking the same thing - that I have it all together. We're all in this journey together, the journey of life. Sounds cliche I know, but oh so true.

All the unknown captures me in every part of life. Up until this year, I thought I knew what I wanted in life. I wanted to be a psychology major at Charleston Southern University, I was in a relationship that I thought was leading me to a future, I had more friends, and a family who had my back. All of this changed when I went to Charleston Southern.

I am still a psychology major, but now my life has changed in a way that I no longer know the direction I am headed. I started working at a veterinarian hospital, and I love my job with everything I have. I have always had two passions: children and animals. Now, I find myself torn between becoming a vet and becoming a child psychologist. The Lord has a funny way of opening up possibilities. All the while, I am minoring in Christian Studies trying to explore my faith and the potential options I have there. Next, the Lord blessed me by allowing my relationship to end. The toxicity of it all and the end showed me that I deserve better and the Lord has different plans. The Lord knows my biggest goal in life is to have a family, and I still believe He will send me someone someday. In the meantime, I am meant to trust in Him.

Almost everything has changed in my life, some for the better and some for the worst. All in all, I am learning every day that it is okay not to know what to do. I am never going to know the answer to everything in my life, and neither will you. You aren't going to always know your path, your relationship, every friendship you have or where you will be in 5 years, and that's okay. Learning to be patient and learning to be okay and trust in God when you don't know what to do, are some of the most valuable lessons you will ever learn in your lifetime. I am still learning every day and all I know is that God leads me wherever I go. He doesn't promise the road to be an easy one, but He does promise to be there, and I know that that is enough.

All in all, take some time to get to know God. He might just help you get to know yourself.

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.
