January 18

I think sometimes I forget how hard it is to be 12. So much is changing all at once – your body, your relationships, school. An entirely new sense of self is developing and it’s so hard to navigate it all, to sort things out. It’s hard to know where to turn, if anywhere. It’s one of those things that you can’t really fix or make right. You kind of just have to go through it. It’s odd seeing it from the other side. I’m not always sure I’m doing the most supportive thing. Maybe the most important thing is to give ourselves the space to get it wrong. I think getting it wrong is probably the best way to get it right.
