Dear teenager,
I'll be compiling some FAQs that everyone who has ever been a teenager in any timeline has ever asked.
Would you be interested in knowing those questions?

Dear teenager,
This might sound funny to you, but I'll say it anyway.
The first genuine friend I think I ever had was WISDOM.

Dear teenager,
"THE TEST" is not only a series of questions you ask a person before they become your friend.

Meaning, I have only five people in my life that I can intentionally be vulnerable with and they'll comfort me, counsel me, build me up and be there for me(correction is included in the comforting)

Dear teenager,
After 20+ years of living, I have only one best friend.
I have about five close friends in ministry.
I have a church family.
I also have a secondary school classmate who reconnected with me, and we've now become very close. We share the same values, principles,..
relationships, career, family, finance, faith, etc.
I am building a stronger bond with my siblings.
What I'm trying to show you is how intentional I'm being about all this things.
If you read through the texts you'll notice my intentional choice of words, because....
