It's easy to lose yourself in the society we live in today. Lately, I have been trying to find myself again. I have been trying to walk out of the fog I have been stuck in. I am tired of not being myself, and I want to be the best version possible. I have been pushing myself to be out there more. I am learning more about myself. I am a happier me. Here are a few of my tips on finding yourself:

1. Keep that song that makes you scream the lyrics on repeat.

2. Start a journal about your life.

3. Collect quotes that inspire you.

4. Spend time with your mom.

5. Go swimming!

7. Smile and say "hi" to older people.

8. Surround yourself with people that want to see you succeed.

9. Send 'thank you' notes.

10. Have 1 food cheat day a week.

11. Find a perfume that you can call your smell.

12. Literally, dance in the rain (if there's no lightning.

13. Clean your "Friends" and "Followers" on social media.

14. Take naps.

15. Doodle in a notebook.

16. Ask questions.

17. Unplug from social media for a little bit.

18. Go on a hike or long walk.

19. Clean your room, and only surround yourself with things that make you happy.

20. Call/text a friend you haven't talked to in awhile.

21. Write 3 things you're grateful for every day.

22. Experiment with paints and glitter.

23. Meditate.

24. Cut out toxic relationships.

25. Take time to read a book.

26. Listen to the stories your grandparents have to say.

27. Go for a car ride.

28. Try yoga.

29. Save or even print funny photos to remind you to smile.

30. Balance friends and family.

31. Listen more and talk less.

32. Pet a cat.

33. Cuddle a dog.

34. Wear your favorite shirt on Mondays.

35. Laugh a lot.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
