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

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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
