Fifteen

Spoiler Alert: This post was made more for the females (No, I am not biased. It's just easier to write as a girl when you are one.)

Now I know a lot of us can't even remember what we had for breakfast yesterday but imagine this: You're fifteen. You're most likely in high school, you're struggling with inner demons and all you want is for that one person to notice you. It seems as if every little inconvenience will be the end of the world and you cannot possibly see past the next two weeks into the future because the present is just too complicated.

Well let me tell you, the world did not end and I can finally see past the next two weeks.

It's terrifying and I would never change it, not even for all the books in the world.

Honestly I feel like Taylor Swift's song Fifteen really highlights what teenage girls go through at fifteen (I cannot speak for guys as I feel it would be rude to assume how they feel.) The lyrics include her saying that her best friend gave her everything to someone that she obviously cared about only to have him change his mind and I really think that it needs to be said...Not every guy who ever smiles at you loves you, nor will he but when you're fifteen and he says he does, you will believe him. All you want to do is be perfect to someone but you need to remember that real is better than perfect and perfect girls aren't real.

The lyrics also say the following:

But in your life you'll do things Greater than dating the boy on the football team But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted Was to be wanted Wish you could go back And tell yourself what you know now

I really do wish I could go back and tell myself what I know now because what I wanted so desperately was not nearly as amazing as what I got. I just wasn't patient enough to see it.

It breaks my heart that so many girls cannot see their own worth and if I can just tell one of them that they don't need a guy to be beautiful then I hope they see this.

So I hope that you're patient and I hope that you see how special you are regardless of how many guys (or girls) smile at you.

We are all amazing and strong in our own way and sometimes we need a good friend to remind us, I'm glad that I had a lot of those.

Thanks for reading xx
