7 Things for When You Feel Like You've Lost Yourself

So you'e lost yourself, huh? Maybe you were never sure who you were, or that asshole manipulated you into being someone you're not and BAM! You wake up one morning and there you, or not so you, are. For all you out there trying to put together your missing pieces like me, here's my advice:

1. Change Your Appearance

Die your hair purple or chop it off (i did both). Whatever you wanna do! This is the first step in gaining that confidence you've been stripped of. Turn heads, girl. You got this.

2. Love Your Dog More Than a Boy

Dogs won't eat your heart out, or tell you they'll call then never do. And dogs usually have much better snuggles because they expect nothing but a pat on the head. Why can't i find a boy who wants nothing more than a pet? It's cool. My dog's breath smells better than his did, anyways.

3. Get a Tattoo

Tattoos have so much meaning. Get a tattoo that you can look at everyday and think, "Hell yeah, I'm a badass." Every girl wants to be a badass.

4. Reconnect with Old Friends, or Get New Ones

Friends reconnect us to who we are because we can be who we are when we're with them. Plus, you can text them at all hours of the day and make them remind you that you're awesome.


5. Go on Vacation

Everybody needs a vacation. Grab one of those friends i mentioned above and take a road trip to Disneyland. Listen to old school Backstreet Boys, eat your favorite fast food, and be a care free kid again.

6. Take Selfies

You have to love yourself to find yourself. Take a selfie everyday. Post one everyday. Who cares what everyone else thinks. Who you are, your happiness, and your confidence will radiate through those iphone screens.


7. Tell Yourself You're Fucking Awesome

You're enough. No matter who you are, or who you choose to be, you are good enough. Wake up every morning and tell yourself that. You go!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
