Growing-1

Joy lea tholstrup

'm taller. My voice is deeper. I have feelings I don't know why I have I suddenly can't fit into the clothes and shoes I have my feet hang off the edge of the vet and I feel like I just want to be dragged down bye the monster I once thought was there suddenly fairies and unicorns aren't real suddenly I don't want to play with toys any more suddenly I want to go out with friends and shut myself in my room alone, suddenly I'm growing

    It sounds like you're going through a lot of changes, growing taller, your voice getting deeper, and feeling a mix of emotions you might not fully understand. It can be overwhelming when the things you used to enjoy, like fairies and unicorns, don't hold the same magic, and you find yourself wanting different things. Growing up can feel like a whirlwind of new experiences and feelings, but , it's all part of becoming the amazing person you're meant to be. Just take it one step at a time, and know that it's okay to feel a little lost in the midst of all these changes.
