What is the relationship between the Human Mind and Adolescence?
The human mind is a mystery and that of an adolescent perhaps even more. Unfortunately the difference in our ages played a tricky role. When I was 14 years old Alexandra was just six, which is why, between school, friends and first teen crushes, I didn’t spend much time with her and I almost forgot about her, and I was also convinced that she was too young to understand my teen problems so I started to exclude her from my world. However, over the years, things changed.
Changes and Reconciliation
Two years ago, after almost three years, I broke up with my boyfriend. It was not an easy time for me, because it was in fact an important relationship. Well, at that time, despite my absence or rather, although I did not deserve it, Alexandra was very close to me and it was then that I opened my eyes . as well as I had missed a sister at her age, so she was now looking for a sister that had never been there for her. Since then, things have changed, because now we are one for the other and this is beautiful .. in fact I think that there will be many things that we’ll do together The human mind is a mystery and that of an adolescent perhaps even more.
