When I Was a Teenager



I was a teenager... let me count... 7 years ago. 





... I was insecure


When I was a teenager I didn't see how wonderful and valuable I am. I wasn't comfortable in my own body and I was extremely self-conscious. I thought I was the clumsiest person in the world and my jokes and laughter were weird. 


... I was independent

My teen years were quite paradoxical. On the other hand I was insecure but I was also extremely independent. I didn't mimic my peers. I wanted to make my own decisions based on my own will, experiences and moral. 


... I was waiting for my life to begin

I didn't think my life had yet started. I was constantly thinking "When I turn 18...", "When I go to high school..." or "When I get a boyfriend..." It was always "when" never "now".


... I was silly

After seven years I find my teenage thought processes silly. Isn't it amazing how much a person can grow!


Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different?

What were you like when you were a teenager?
