How I did it: I have spent too much time trying to figure out what counterculture I fit into socially. HOW STUPID OF ME. After my every-night-before-I-go-to-bed contemplation period, I realized that it is impossible to "find" yourself because you are already yourself. You are already found! You are a living individual! You are already figured out. Everyone is always growing and changing. From political views and religious beliefs to hairstyles and music, no one ever stays content with everything in their lives. My point is that you can be whoever you want to be. I am now in love with who I am because of my failed attempt at trying to figure myself out and my comfort in knowing I am still the same person no matter how many times I change what I like. Don't be afraid to put on fronts. If you spend too much time trying to figure yourself out, than you will only get yourself nowhere. People are made, not found.

Lessons & tips: EXPLORE! Never settle for anything.
