The Girl With 1,000 Faces

Expressing yourself is more important than be considered professional.

Some people have their cars, computers, or a sport, I have dying/cutting my hair. I just dyed my hair for the 1,000th time and every time I change my look in someway I feel more confident, comfortable, and just over all happier.

I have changed my look so many times through my life that my friends never get used to one look. Earlier this year I cut all of my hair off and vowed to never color my hair again, but as much as I tried, I just did not feel like myself without changing my own appearance again.

I have changed so much about my looks over the years, and every time I do something I get the same comment; "Why are you changing who you are?" Here is my answer to that; I am who I am and I will always be myself. Just because I get a new piercing, a tattoo, a new haircut, or fake eyelashes, it does not mean that I am changing who I am as a person. In reality the things I do to change my look is another way I am finding myself and who I REALLY am.


I am 20-years-old and only continuing to discover myself and the best way for me is to change my look very often. So, next time you see someone constantly changing her or his look, don't judge them as being fake or like someone else accept them for their bad-ass choices to express who they really are and who they are discovering to be. Everyone changes over time, some more drastically than others. I love that I live in a generation that does not judge for "crazy hair colors "and piercings, because that is who I am, and I will always continue changing, that is my best quality. I believe everyone should be comfortable in their own skin and stand up for what they believe in. I am hoping to be a role model for those younger than me, to show that it is acceptable, no matter what others say, to be who they want to be no matter what they look like or how often they change.

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.
