An Open Letter to Young Girls in This Generation

Image
Growing up, there are so many things I wish I had known about love, healing, and self-worth. No one really prepares you for heartbreak, or for the ways we sometimes try to fill the emptiness it leaves behind. So, this letter is for the young girls coming up now, for the ones trying to navigate love, loss, and finding themselves in the middle of it all. Sweet girl, not every love story is meant to last, and that is perfectly okay. What feels like “forever” sometimes comes just to teach you, shape you, and then make room for what is truly yours.

Because this journey has been nothing short of epic. Episode 1: Teenage Turbulence Remember those years when we were absolutely sure we knew EVERYTHING? Oh, the sweet naivety.

Are you people not happy for me? Be happy nah😂😂😂 Oya let me be serious! so here is the thing, I’ve been in my 20’s a few years in now, and if there’s one thing I’ve mastered, it’s overthinking. I’m not talking about the occasional “Should I wear the black gown or the blue one?” kind of overthinking, Nah Nah, I am talking about full on, 2AM “I must have accidentally insulted the lady that attended to me at Globus supermarket last week” or what if I get to church late on my wedding day, does that mean they will join my husband with chair?” overthinking, to be honest It’s a  gift. Let’s talk about how I’m navigating my 20s. First, I’m supposed to be an adult, right? But somehow, I still panic when I see my to-do list or list of things to pay for. Do I really need to pay bills?
