Dear Girl, Your Body is Not Awkward — It’s Becoming
Dear Girl,
You might be feeling a little confused right now.
Maybe your body feels different. Your emotions feel bigger. You catch yourself wondering if you’re normal. Maybe you’re noticing bumps on your face, changes in your chest, or moments when you want to cry… and you’re not even sure why.
Let me tell you something sacred:
- Nothing about you is wrong.
- You’re not awkward.
- You’re not weird.
- You are becoming.
Your Body is Doing Exactly What It’s Meant to Do
Every stretch, every curve, every change — it’s part of your becoming. Your body is blooming, and like any flower, it takes time, sunlight, and space.
- Growth spurts might make you feel clumsy.
- Breast development might make you feel shy.
- Acne might feel frustrating or embarrassing.
But here’s the truth: every girl goes through this — even the ones who seem super confident.
What to Remember on the Hard Days
Say this to yourself in the mirror:
- “My body is wise and knows exactly what it’s doing.”
- “I honor every phase of my growth.”
- “I don’t need to rush — I am blooming in divine timing.”
Your body is not an enemy to be fixed. It’s a friend learning how to carry the power that is you.
Self-Care Tips for Your Becoming
These small rituals will help you feel more grounded during this new season:
1. Hydration is magic
Drink water every day. It helps your skin, your energy, and your mood.
2. Gentle hygiene
Use a soft, unscented soap to wash your body. Don’t forget your underarms, neck, and private areas. (It’s okay to ask a trusted adult for help choosing products.)
3. Journal it out
Write down your feelings — even if they don’t make sense. This is your space to feel seen, even if no one else is watching.
4. Stretch or dance
Movement helps your body regulate emotions and energy. Dance in your room. Walk barefoot on the grass. Just move like your soul wants to.
5. Rest when you need to
You don’t need to “push through” all the time. It’s okay to feel tired or sensitive. It’s okay to rest.
Becoming Her Reminder
You are not just growing.
You are unfolding.
You are a masterpiece in progress.
Your body is becoming a sacred home. Be gentle with it. Be proud of it. And know this: you are already enough, just as you are.
