Totally confusing
For me, the teenage years were very confusing to say the least. It was almost like I woke up one morning to find that boys, who had once been nothing more than good friends, now seemed to give me butterflies when they were around. Girlfriends who had once only talked about toys and Disney movies now talked about what boys were the cutest, how to style your hair, wear your clothes, paint your fingernails or what shade of lip gloss was totally hip for the season.
My friends and I were practically joined at the hip. We would stay with each other every night and sit outside at the patio table talking, singing our favorite songs and laughing about whatever happened during the day.
I spent most of my teenage years trying to figure out who I was, thinking I knew one day, only to find myself completely different three months later.
I look back and still get that indescribable feeling of being care-free, vibrant and so ready to be grown to see what life had in store for me. It’s nice to reminisce about it, but I am glad you only go through the teenage part of life once.
