An Open Letter To My Lost Self

An Open Letter To My Lost Self

This is not the end of your life. Sometimes you have to realize that you are not the girl that you were in middle school or high school. Even in college you will come to find that joining certain groups will have you becoming more of who you are or maybe someone that you do not want to be. It is perfectly OK; just take a deep breath and realize that you are where you are supposed to be. If you do not like it then feel free to change your course.

Lose yourself; it will bring you to a new light. Be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be. Be happy, be smart, be everything that you aspire to be. Everything will come together, and you'll look in the mirror one day and see that you have found ultimate happiness. Be that girl in the mirror, laugh and smile, and think of the happiness in your life.

Beautiful girl, do not cave in to peer pressure. Do not put yourself in the situation where you go for the drugs and alcohol. Do not come to the point where you find yourself getting ready to end your life. You are beautiful both inside and out, no matter what stage in your life you are in, and you will find a way through this.

When you feel like all is lost, just remember that anything is possible. So go take a walk, listen to some music, or just sit alone and write; whatever the case is just take care of yourself. Whatever comes afterward will be because it was meant to happen. Just stay strong and know that you are not alone on this rough journey. As long as you just remember that the best and truest version of yourself is always inside of you, you can make it through anything in this world. Through every turn, jump, ditch, someone will come into your life and bring out who you have always wanted to be.

Stay beautiful.

Sincerely,

Just another survivor.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.

Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
