I have a girl on my Facebook friend list.<\/p>\n
She’s painfully young<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
far too old all at once.<\/p>\n
She smokes a crazy amount of pot<\/p>\n
and drinks<\/p>\n
so<\/p>\n
much<\/p>\n
alcohol.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s hard to see it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her heart is so broken<\/p>\n
so raw.<\/p>\n
Fifteen and not living with either parent.<\/p>\n
Just some friend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t know if anyone close to her cares enough to tell her she’s worth more than she knows.<\/p>\n
Does anyone tell her that brushing her hair, putting on makeup isn’t good because it makes her look prettier, but only good if it makes her feel better for her own sake?<\/p>\n
Does anyone listen to her?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I remember being her.<\/p>\n
Heck, I\u00a0am\u00a0<\/em>her.<\/p>\n Still…<\/p>\n All these years into life and all this wisdom and still only feeling good and real and loved when someone, usually a man, gives me attention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I know her and I can see the truth.<\/p>\n But I can’t apply the truth in my own life and I have no idea how to help her see the truth and apply it either. I don’t know how to feel wanted and loved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have a girl on my Facebook friend list. She’s painfully young and far too old all at once.
