I know the waiting seems forever, but it'll be here before you know it.

Girl, You WILL Get Your Breakthrough, It Just Takes Time

I won't lie to you, I've been waiting quite a while.

It can get boring, and lonely, and you will sit and wonder what your next move is for hours. You'll beg and plead with God and try to understand why life feels like its moving in slow motion, or even worse, come to a halt altogether. Your heart will fill with anxieties of not knowing what is coming next, and you may just feel utterly lost. But, take hope and know that in the wait, you're going to find amazing things, and when that breakthrough comes it'll be better than you ever could've imagined.

It sucks when life feels like a waiting game.

You just keep asking yourself "what's next?" and the answers never seem to come. Pros and cons lists, praying, talking to family and friends: sometimes you do it all and you still don't know what to do or what's next. Whether you're in high school wondering what college to go to, in college and trying to find the right major, trying to find a job after graduation or debating switching careers, it can feel very daunting to change. Change tends to be big and scary, at least in my life, and often I run and hide from it. I like comfortable and easy, and I question every decision I make. But truly the worst thing is feeling like you need to change something — like you're just stuck, and you don't know what it is or where to start.

There is good news: it's gonna get easier.

You're not going to feel stuck forever and you're gonna get some clarity sooner or later. God has something amazing waiting for you on the other side of the battle, and even though you don't know it now, it will be beautiful. It will make all of the struggling, pain, and confusion you went through seem so small.

Just keep going, working hard, looking toward your goals and finding what makes you happy. Live life day by day and don't rush things. Breathe through the anxiety and know there is a plan for your life.

The breakthrough can feel a million miles away, but it's just around the corner, and it's all gonna be worth the fight.

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.
