Now, this probably doesn't make any sense right? Like you had to lose yourself to find yourself?

As humans, we are constantly changing and growing. Are you the same person you were when you were five? twelve? sixteen? No, you are not because we are always shaping and molding ourselves into the person we will one day be.

I am not the same girl I was last year

And honestly, I'm so thankful. I didn't know who I was, or what my passions were. I was just kind of floating through life with no real purpose, so I thought. I didn't think I had a calling in life, and that I was just existing.

One day I realized that this is not how life is supposed to be. I'm not supposed to just exist and go with the flow. I have a purpose and reason for living, and I just need to find what it is.

This is when I realized I didn't know who I was

And it was okay because I could find myself, and that is exactly what I did. I went from taking every day for granted to finding the good and enjoyment in the little things. I went from sitting alone in my dorm room to going out and seeing my friends.

The key to your happiness is to find yourself

Once you know who you are and you believe in yourself, no one can take your happiness away from you. Don't listen to what everyone else has to say because honestly only you know what can make you happy, and only you can provide your own happiness.

I figured out what my interests were, finally, and ran with it

Take a step back and ask yourself this: "What are my passions? What am I living for? Why am I here?" If you have even the slightest trouble answering those questions, it might be time to step back and figure out those things because without knowing your purpose you will forever be lost.

I found myself finally and I am not only the happiest I have ever been, but I am also content with where I am at in life. I am doing what makes me happy, and surrounding me with people who support my dreams.

Surround yourself with people who love and support you, and do what makes you happy, and I promise you will crush it in this game called life.
