From The Girl Losing Herself In A Funk

That awful feeling when you just aren't yourself anymore.

From The Girl Losing Herself In A Funk
Skyler Anderson

Recently I have been in a funk. I just don't feel like myself anymore. I don't know what's wrong.

Maybe it's the stress of starting classes again after breaking. Maybe it's trying to work as much as I possibly can. Maybe it's taking on new roles in my sorority. Whatever it is, it bugs me. I get in these moods where I snap at people, I feel bad about myself and my appearance, I have no motivation. But the worst part is, I literally have no idea why I feel this way.

I think everyone goes through these funks where something just isn't right. It's hard. Its hard to figure yourself out and be introspective. It's hard to make yourself feel better again.

Somethings that I do include listening to music, taking hot baths, watching my favorite show, dressing nicer, eating healthier, or picking up an old hobby.

Maybe I will feel better if I just dance around my room for hours. Maybe then I will figure out my purpose and the big issue that's bothering me.

All that being said, stay strong. Know that everyone gets this way sometimes and its normal. Things change in your life and your feelings and emotions will change as well, but you just have to roll with the punches. You'll get back to the place you want to be, I promise. Don't let this feeling win.

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.
