You Never Stop Finding Yourself

I don't care what anyone says, finding yourself is a life-long journey.

You Never Stop Finding Yourself

Do you ever find yourself sitting in your car, playlist on shuffle, and putting all the weight of your fate in the next song? Do you start driving with no aim in destination, but just to get away?

We're always looking for something more, as Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper once sang in a far more eloquent way than how I'm writing this. But, that's not always a bad thing. You should motivate yourself to find more than just the mundane routine of the same old crowd, scenery, and happenings. You're more than the ground you're standing on, and there's more to you than how people perceive you.

You're a pencil in a sharpener, constantly shedding layers until you've resolved to your finest point. I wasn't going to go for the obvious onion reference, because that's been played out...ahem, Michael Myers. Anyhow, you're constantly on the path to another chapter in your life. You're in transition to constant change.

One would argue that people never change. To which I say, people hardly ever change. People have the ability to change, but on their own account. They must be seeking said change, improvements, or opportunities. People change because they desire change. They don't change willingly on unpredictable circumstances. People are reluctant to change when it's not on their own.

To continue, people constantly are flicking through chapters in their lives. Things are ever changing.

If people don't expect you to change, they're dead mistaken. It's good to morph into different things, especially if its who you want to be. Don't be fearful of change and continue to find yourself. What you want now is not necessarily what you'll want later, so don't get too caught up in the tribulations of right now. Live in the moment, and take risks every time you can. It's not fair to you to be too afraid to get on and change.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
