growing into your adult body

1. it’s okay to not be the same size as you were when you were 16… it’s not normal for your body to remain stagnant- you’re a living creature that changes as life presents you new challenges and needs! because of the way the media portrays teenage years it can feel like once you turn 16 or 18 that you’re done developing… you’re a woman now! but that couldn’t be further from the truth your body will continue to change as you develop… but don’t be afraid of it; embrace it! you wouldn’t be mad at your body for not looking like it did at 12… so why r you punishing yourself for not looking how you did at 16?

2. it’s normal for your face to change too! this can be really strange to see and not even noticeable at first but the person looking at you in the mirror will change and develop too- and that’s ok!

3. your interests and ideals can and probably will shift: it can be scary to not feel like you align with your past self, and that’s ok!! embrace it and love the new independent and amazing woman you are becoming
