What I Really Want From Life

Sometimes life sucks, but keeping our goals in mind is something everyone should do.

What I Really Want From Life
Maizy Landreth

I have spent so much time searching what from life and from myself. Here is to all of those who want the most out of life, and won't stop until they get it. Here is for the hard workers, the bright thinkers. Here's to, well, here is to you.

Really, I want success. I want to wake up every day and know that I am in the right place and doing the right things. I want to have a good feeling when I see what I have done with myself. I want to make people proud and feel appreciated for doing what I love the most.

Really, I want family. I want to share my love with someone who shares it back. I want someone to share my views and my passions with. I want to grow up knowing I have left footsteps for my loved ones to follow. The family I have now is wonderful in every way, and I want to keep our heart alive.

Really, I want faith. I want to believe in something. I want to know my life is in good hands. I want something to keep me together when I fall apart. Knowing that someone is there, when it feels no one else is.

Really, I want a friend. Not those fake friends that will walk all over me. But a real true friend. I want someone who is there for me no matter when. Those that I have now, I hope they stay. I want them to be there forever.

Really, I want happiness. I want to smile. I want to bring joy to other people. I want life to mean something to me, and my life to others. I want my words to leave an imprint on peoples minds. I want happiness for myself, not from others. I want to create my own heart and desire and show people how it can be to do things for yourself, and be the best you that can be.

Really, I want my life. Sometimes LIFE IS HARD. It takes you on this crazy ride that seems like its never ending. This alone can be hard enough. Add in all the worlds negativity. The body shaming, the hate crimes, the technology. Its one big pot of negative weighing on top of surviving and keeping sane. Its so easy to think about how easy things would be without it all, but is that what I want? Do I want to throw it all away just for a break? No, I want to grow. I want to experience. I want to feel everything, even the pain. Without the pain, there is nothing to compare my ease to. Without the ease, I would never know the pain and how to change it.

There is so much to get out of our time here, make the best of it. Find what you want and go for it.

But this, this is what I want.

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.
