I loved this so much!! The point about our romanticisation of girlhood taking the actual teeth out of the experience and how it really felt to be a girl!! It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately and you articulated it so well

"Girlhood is such an intricate time that womanhood is sold to girls as the solution."---WOW, i love this line. We spend all of girlhood trying to be women, forgetting the beauty in just being young, whatever that looks like, in all its awkwardness and in between places. It's sad women aren't allowed to truly exist in their youth, always being pushed toward adult roles. But I think its beautiful we are finding ways to reconnect with girlhood and femininity as women! Beautifully put and very eye opening to me!
