You Are Someone's Role Model

Think about it, you have influenced someone

From the way that you talk, to the way that you dress, you are stunning. I don’t quite know you, but I know that I want to. Your poise amazes me. Your kindness gives me strength. You are wonderful.

I’ve noticed that I am awe struck by distinct individuals: the people that are able to offer themselves without hesitation or even the selfless individuals that make you question their humanness. I am amazed by how naturally others radiate their genuine characteristics. In relation to this thought, I am also intrigued by how easily it is to determine someone’s trust and take shelter under it.

The greatest feeling is being saved from a moment of desperation. Assuming the biology behind this is correct, it feels exactly like having every cell in your body soak in, and then quickly release, the sun’s rays all at once. Suddenly humanity makes sense: horrible actions are common yet horrible people are very rare. If being high on life was possible, you would be convinced that you’re well under the influence.

The people that allow for this reassurement are probably not aware of how impactful they are. Hopefully their supporters have previously, and still continue to, enlightened them, but the people that follow from afar might still be hidden in their secluded corners.

You are someone’s role model.

Perhaps you are the person that always seems to have their outfits on point who also acts as a resource for others when buying new clothing, or perhaps you are the person older than everyone who unwittingly guides them through their new paths, or maybe you are the professor who open handedly offers their passion towards their students to lead them towards their own desires. Think about it, you have influenced someone.

Humanity has flaws and perfection is impossible, but by piecing together distinct characteristics from random people, being perfect becomes questionable.

Your smile might be a direct replica of your mom’s. Your optimistic thoughts may have been subconsciously gained from your 6th grade math tutor who got you that A; the things we model from others happens without even thought.

Is it weird to tell people that their smile makes me smile? Is it selfish when I don’t tell people that they have helped me beyond their intent? Am I insane for thinking that kindness can create a chain reaction of unity? These are all thoughts that are connected to expression and realizing that it is so easy to be a leader in your community. Just smile. Say thank you. Offer help. Open a door for someone. Soon, several doors will open. For all one knows a door may open for you, and you will realize the impact that you have on this world.

There are various role models in our lives. Some have the potential to radiate feel good vibes that depict trust and genuine kindness. Others have the ability to build us in little ways that help bring who we are closer to who we want to be.

Thank you for inspiring someone.

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.
