I took my love and took it down

It hurt my heart a little bit to realize that after that whole long post I wrote, I forgot to mention something I was really thinking about in that car ride home I mention(ed). I was thinking about the advice my step-dad said he'd give me if he could only give me one piece of advice ever. I then thought to myself, "Sydney, what do you think you would say to everyone if you only had one chance to say something?" Of course, funny things popped into my head, but I was like "snap out of it, dookiehead, what would you really say?" and imagine you in the passenger's seat, driving on the high way, at night, looking at flashing lights behind trees and the pretty stars, isn't that such an adorable scene? Straight out of a movie or some shit. So of course with this beautiful view, I have to be all serious.

I decided my advice to all would be: Do not go looking for yourself. Be yourself.

People always talk about how they have to find themselves, but what does that mean? Aren't you already yourself? You just have to experience life and do what you like to do. That is who you are. If you do what you like, and you are happy, you are already yourself. There is no searching? Go take a look in the mirror, there, you have found yourself. You don't need to go out looking for the correct label to stick on your forehead, that is quite unnecessary. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about how other people see you. It does not matter if you are seen as a "hipster" or "weird" or "fucking crazy". you like who you are, then that is all. Also remember, everyone you meet will have a different label for you. You cannot go looking for something that is always changing. Maybe I just don't understand, but I   know what it feels like to be a human, and I think I'm on the verge of figuring a lot out. I will never be ever to learn everything, but my life needs to start now. I'm not trying to "find myself" I'm trying to do what I want.
