The best part of today....well that hasn't happened yet. Your not home yet. But, today has been pretty grand I will say. Hanging out with a teenage girl, going to the mall and having lunch. It brings back memories of myself and reminds me how hard life seemed back then. I mean it was hard but in ways that adults never get. It's an emotional time in life especially for a girl. A time when a young lady needs support, encouragement, guidance and most of all I THINK...approval. She needs to know that she is the best in someones eyes. She is the MOST important thing in someones world. She is the prettiest and the ONLY one that matters to at least someone. And when she rambles on about girl things, she just wants someone to listen.
That's what I did today, hung out with an amazing teenage girl that I am completely falling in love with. She's learning to drive in my car and that's just good bonding. We bond in different ways everyday. I hope that she knows I don't just want her to believe she is the BEST, MOST important and beautiful girl...but that she truly is!! I wasn't sure how well I would do with my "step-daughter" (ok well not legally). But I find that if I just be myself and try to keep it real and listen to the crazy music that I love because I love it (not because I know she does) it seems to come easily most of the time.
It's a difficult time to be a young teenager. So if you know one or have one, just be supportive and point them in the right direction. Kiss em' and hug em'. They need us :~)
