8 Disney Characters Who Just Went With the Flow
We know when we watch Disney movies that the stories are gonna be unrealistic, but sometimes the characters get their lives turned upside down and just carry on. It's funny when this happens in worlds that are otherwise quite realistic, and the character just accepts whatever the strange turn to their story is, and just go with the flow and go on with their lives. Here are eight Disney characters who took their twists and turns in their stride (spoiler alert).

7 Historical Events That Happened in June
Our world is constantly moving forward. June 2020 has been full of demonstrations and uprisings for the Black Lives Matter Movement, as well as it being Pride Month which involves raising awareness for the LGBT+ community. Both of these areas have a long way to go, as well as many other parts of society. It's interesting to look back on historical events that have taken place, how they made their mark on the world and how much the world has changed since then. Here are seven happenings that took place in the month of June.

Important Milestones in LGBT+ History
There is no arguing that the LGBT+ community has a history full of struggle and adversity. The world has a long way to go before we achieve equality and all LGBT+ people can feel safe enough to be themselves. However, there are a lot of events to look back on that made a huge difference when they happened, and have continued to inspire and push us in the right direction ever since then. Here's a list of some LGBT+ milestones that helped drive the community forward as they made the world a better place.

How Dangerous is it to be Black and LGBT+?
This month has been full of protests, activism and politics. I want to take this opportunity to gather some information and stats on what it's like to be black and part of the LGBT+ community. Being LGBT+ can already be extremely challenging for a lot of people, but statistics show it can be even harder if you're black. I'm not disregarding the fact that it can be challenging and dangerous for people from any race, but today I'm specifically focusing on the black community.

To everyone who deleted their black square
Two weeks ago we joined together to show support and muted ourselves on Instagram by posting black squares, to amplify the black voices calling for justice. Way over 20 million users posted black squares on their accounts, and it was amazing to see such a large number of people taking a stand against racism.

Enough is enough.
No need for an introduction. You all know why I am writing this right now. I apologise if this article seems a bit of a mess. My brain is overwhelmed and it is hard to gather my thoughts when there are so many different things to be mad about. I am devastated, and I hope sharing this with you will help add some perspective. The most important thing is that we keep talking, writing and posting. We need to end the silence, and never let it come back. Before you continue reading, please understand that these are my own thoughts, and my intentions are not to offend anyone (except if you are racist). I understand that I will never understand. But I am on your side, and I always will be.

Like I've said before, any kind of work or study session you have in front of you is a lot easier to get through with the right music in the background.

Humour as a Coping Method
One of my favourite things about my generation is that the vast majority of us use humour to cope with our problems. We make jokes about things that aren't funny, but laughing at the situation makes it easier for us to deal with it. I absolutely love that this is so widely spread and accepted, although out of context it can definitely make you sound like you're out of your mind.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
I think we've all fallen into the trap of thinking someone else has something better than us, that they're happier than us or that we need to be more like them. Comparing your life to someone else's is unfair and a complete waste of energy. You've lived different lives, and comparing yourself to them or having negative feelings around the fact that they seem to have more or better things than you, is totally unjustified. You can use them as motivation to achieve something, but don't put yourself down because you don't currently have the specific things they have.

Here's a list of ten Disney characters who went against what their parents wanted from them.
