You Are The Ocean

I used to love the ocean.

You are the ocean.
I am the one who dances along your edges;
Running when you get too close,
Succumbing when you finally reach me.

You are the ocean.
I am the one who watches as you go and waits for your return;
Longing for your enveloping waves,
Begging for freedom when you come home.


You are the ocean.
I am the one who loves your grace and tenacity;
Washing over me gently,
Pummeling me whenever you want.

You are the ocean.
I am the one who is scared of your power over me.
Hiding from your wonder and mysteries.
I wonder how long I’ll stay away this time.

You are the ocean, and I am drowning.

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.

Queen B sums it up for us.

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.
