When Luck Finds You

It's hard to trust things will be okay. It is extremely hard to luck out in some aspects of life. Jobs are hard, as is school, family, and relationships. Sometimes you feel like giving up. I hit a breaking point, I've hit multiple. I remember when I hit rock bottom. Everyone told me to hold on, to keep fighting, but I remember not wanting to fight anymore, so I stopped. I didn't keep fighting. I remember my therapist asking me why I stopped caring to hold on, I told her I wanted it to maybe make me feel something. It didn't, but it made me want to. Here recently I've found myself trying to climb back into that same hole of wanting to stop fighting, and for a few days I did. The only reason I'm still here is because the people around me kept me up. That's the thing with it all. I learned that I will never be left in the dust when it's all said & done, there will be people to pick me back up regardless how many times I fall short of being better.

Life is not always lucky. It's a big world & there's only one God, we can't all get good luck at the same time. You have to hold on long enough for your luck to find you.

After digging myself back out of this giant hole I keep going into, I got lucky. Sometimes, I forget that. I got the job. The family. The guy. The friends. I got the Faith. I got everything.

My luck found me.

I think if things automatically fell how we wanted it to, we wouldn't learn as many lessons as needed. I fell in love with a job I didn't even want in the first place. I found a guy who drives me crazy, in a good way, who I wasn't interested in at the start. I made friends & got close to people who I didn't even care to speak to when I met them. I felt the love of God when I wasn't even sure if I believed he was real.

I understand how hard it is. It took years, it took different therapist & different medications. It took a lot of lonely nights with horribly dangerous thoughts. It took lots of work, many set backs, and countless times of me falling short of happiness for me to find it.

My luck found me. If you're struggling, just hold on long enough for your luck to find you.

Your people will come to you, everything will come to you. Including your luck.

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.
