Healing those parts of us is two-fold - it's for us and helpful for when our littles get to that age. Imagine the compassion and space you'll have for them in a few years because your healing now <3 Let me tell you, buckle up! Raising teenagers is something else lololol
I also manufactured a hard shell as a teenager. One of my nicknames was the “ice queen” and this was long before Frozen 😂When I was a senior in high school I printed out a sheet with a bunch of questions on it and gave it to all my friends to fill it out. I wanted them all to write what they really thought about me and I promised them I wouldn’t open the envelope with all their answers until 10 years after we graduated. When I opened it up 10 years later I was shocked to read one person’s response who was one of my friends but not in my closest circle. I’d lost touch with her by that point. But she saw right through me back then and wrote about how she recognized that I was putting up a tough front and that I was really quite soft inside and she saw me for who I truly was.
Oooof I love this so much!!! How cool you had the forethought to do that project! We didn’t have social media when I went to HS but we had diaries! And I think my closest
Circle (who are still my besties today) saw right through me too 🙋🏻♀️😅 love your evolution . Thank you for sharing

Did you see my text to my Besty from high school that I posted when I posted this to social? I’m effing terrified for them going to high school lol.
Forget high school, wait for middle school lol
