Girlhood as a Superpower: Reclaiming Your Inner Teen

Remember the girl who wrote poetry in the margins of her math notebook? The one who stayed up late building dream worlds in her head, who played dress-up not to impress, but to imagine? She’s not gone. She’s just buried beneath adult expectations.

This post is a love letter to your inner teen. Not the cringe. Not the chaos. The clarity. Girlhood gave us instincts, magic, softness, and rage. It taught us how to long for something more, even if we didn’t know what that meant yet.

Reclaiming girlhood isn’t regression. It’s resurrection. It’s picking up the pieces of our past selves and honoring them. What music did she love? What made her feel beautiful? What broke her heart? And what did she survive?

Revisiting your teen self with compassion can unlock a deep well of creativity and courage. You’re no longer the girl who had to shrink. You’re the woman who gets to protect her now. Style can help. Rewatching your favorite teen shows can help. Journaling with her voice can help. Dance in your room. Buy the glitter. Cry to Avril Lavigne. Do whatever it takes to reconnect.

Girlhood was not weakness. It was origin. And that girl deserves to be seen.
