My Younger Self Was Stronger

Now an adult, I’ve noticed that I’m so much more sensitive than I was as a teenager. I care so much about what people think and what they say that I let it stunt me and keep me from trying to do the things I love. I’m so afraid of rejection. Teenage me was so much tougher. Strong, resilient, with an “I don’t give a fuck” attitude. That kid didn’t care about what anyone had to say. Ever. I dont how they did it. I wish I still had that strength. I wish I knew how to get it back. Where did it go?
