You have all your ages within you.
You carry yourself as a newborn, as a 3-year-old, as an 11-year-old, as a teenager.
All the needs you had when you were 5, for example, met or unmet, are still there inside.
Adolescence is a period that we often forget to give consideration to. Even though it was a period when a lot happened. We would transition from children to adults, and this transition was not always so painless. A lot could rub in different directions, both within us and outside of us.
"It hurts when bodies break" is a very apt quote by Karin Boye. Because that's exactly how it was for many of us.
Now, when we are entering the time when buds will once again transition to leaves, it can be nice to give a little extra care to the teenager inside us.
If your inner teenager was by your side right now - what would he or she need from you? What did she or he need at that time? It's never too late to give it to yourself. Now you can be that important adult for your inner teenager. That person son she/he maybe longed for, but didn't get. ❤️
