Women Supporting Other Women Is The Best Thing To Happen To Our Society

We live in a society where it is "cool" to outdo each other. We make everything a competition. It is always, who has the better makeup, hair, outfit, etc. or who is in a relationship and whose significant other treats them better? EVERYTHING is a competition and it makes life exhausting. Instead of competing against each other, we should be working together, supporting one another and lifting each other up.

I have noticed within the last year that women are really starting to support other women, and I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT!

We Are Strong

We as women are taken for granted a lot of times. We are treated as fragile little people, both emotionally and physically. People think that we are not as strong as we truly are. We go through so much emotionally, spiritually and physically. We work so hard to reach our goals and our dreams. It is so nice to have the support of others, instead of them trying to constantly tear you down.

Kindness Is Powerful

When you are doubted by others, that gives you motivation to work harder and prove them wrong, but kindness and support is even more powerful.

Growing up, I was always doubted and knocked down by mean girls by anything and everything, whether it was my clothes, hair or makeup (or lack thereof). This gave me anxiety, stress, depression and self doubt. Because of the mean girls, I was self conscious for years.

When you have support and motivation from others, they push you to go above and beyond your original goals. They push you to be the best that you can possibly be, even when you do not believe in yourself, your girl gang will always believe in you and have your back through the ups and downs, and that is the best feeling in the world.

Building Each Other Up Makes Us More Powerful

When we support each other, we help each other grow in better ways and to be our best selves.

Building each other up only makes us better and stronger.

We should not be competing against one another. Tearing each other down only does more harm than good.

Women supporting women has been the best thing to happen to our society in a long time. We will all be better versions of ourselves and happier people when we support one another.

Being mean and petty does not help anyone and is always unnecessary.

So let's keep this trend going and spread kindness like wildfire!

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.
