Dear girl who isn't herself lately,

Whether you're going through a bad breakup, tough roommate situation, or a difficult course load just remember you are never alone. You will always have people who will always love, support, and believe in you. It might be difficult and impossible at times to get up in the morning but these are just the speed bumps along your way to your final destination.

I know some days feel tough and harder than others, but just remember you aren't alone. You aren't alone through your trials and tribulations. I have personally struggled with being genuinely happy and comparing myself to others. You can't be genuinely happy trying to be someone you aren't and you can't be happy if you aren't doing things that truly make you happy. If you don't like the road you're on, change it. There are so many other ways to get to that final destination. You have to find the right fit for you!

Growing up we all (I hope) watched and jammed out to old Disney movies and songs. These songs now have a lot of adult innuendos in them, for example, Hannah Montana. Being that my name is Hannah and it was a nickname of mine for years I genuinely would love watching the show. A couple of her songs still stuck with me today, Life’s What You Make It & The Climb. If you haven't listened to these songs I encourage you to do so. These two songs are uplifting songs that encourage us to live life to the fullest because you only get one. Be happy, even though you might feel like the climb to get to your destination is impossible. Likewise, I believe that God always gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. We are not made to be perfect and have it together, we are supposed to fail and keep on trying.

I encourage you to trust in yourself. Focus on the positives rather than the negatives. Have faith that despite what you're going through at the moment, you will get through it and be the best version of yourself. Get involved! Get involved in something that lifts you up and do something because you genuinely want to. Join that soccer club team, audition for a musical, take piano lessons, join a local gym, or even go teach gymnastics at your local gym! You're not alone, not today, not tomorrow, not ever! Life is way too short to live a life not destined for you. Just remember to never forget you aren't alone. I'm here for you, today tomorrow and always.

Love you bunches,

Hannah ❤️
