You have probably heard a lot about inner child work for healing trauma, but have you ever heard about inner teen work? Lots of us were hurt as teenagers, through family, bullying, bad school experiences, toxic relationships and so on. Many of us missed experiences like experiencing with fashion and makeup and hair dye, watching cringey teen movies, listening to certain bands, using certain websites or games, social media, drawing bad art and decorating our rooms a certain way. Don’t be scared to do some of these things now, even if you are “too old” for these things now or outgrew the interests you had. When I was a teen, I wanted to dress emo and watch twilight and get a tattoo and the day I tried doing these things once, as an adult, it felt so healing and comforting. You still have time.
i’d like to meet someone kind. someone who cares and will be there to listen. someone who notices when things are off, because they know you well enough. someone who acts from the goodness of their hearts and not just to gain something from it. someone who will go out of their way to do something nice for you, because you deserve it. someone who you can count and rely on because you would do the same for them in a heartbeat. someone kind
