Lauren Alaina started her new year looking for her old self.<\/p>\n

The one who didn\u2019t care so much about everything, like what she was or wasn\u2019t wearing, what people thought of her, and what the future would look like. So she went on social media over the first weekend of January 2019 \u2014 her last post before a self-imposed break from social media \u2014 and declared that she was going to be doing some serious searching.<\/p>\n

Alaina included a throwback picture to illustrate the version of herself she\u2019d be trying to find: \u201cThis Lauren didn\u2019t care if she wore boy clothes. She preferred it actually. She didn\u2019t know the future. It\u2019s ups and downs. The happiness and pain it held. She didn\u2019t know about heartbreak or loss. She didn\u2019t know how cruel people can be or how much words can hurt, but she didn\u2019t care what people thought of her or her boy clothes. She was happy and sure of herself. She knew she wanted to write songs and sing them. She loved fiercely and boldly. And most importantly, she knew how to smile through a mom bob,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to live every day to be more like her. I\u2019m looking behind every rock and corner for her this year, and I\u2019m going to find her. I\u2019m taking a little break from social media. I\u2019ll be back soon. Probably not in a boy\u2019s collared shirt, but I\u2019ll be back more like her. Much love to all of you. Thank you for your continued support.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure her 607,000 followers will miss her while she\u2019s gone, but the ones who replied to her post seemed to understand exactly what she was going through. Even some of Alaina\u2019s fellow artists chimed in with their support for her soul searching. Carly Pearce told her, \u201cSo much love.\u201d Lindsay Ell told her, \u201cLove you babe.\u201d Cassadee Pope told her, \u201cYou\u2019ve got this.\u201d Brothers Osborne\u2019s TJ Osborne told her, \u201cLove this.\u201d And country newcomer Tara Thompson said, \u201cLove you and your mom bob.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alaina may not actually see all that support if she really and truly stays off social media, but hopefully, she can still feel the love somehow.<\/p>\n
