Must Read - From Boston To Beirut: A Girl And Her Room

My dad sent me this link From Boston To Beirut: A Girl And Her Room 
:) It happens to be he considers me a teenage girl jajaja! Jk! Through my teenagers all the way up to now, I've had to defend my room against my mom!:) By that I mean, my mom likes clean and extremely decorated... I don't mind my mess and I love putting photos all over the place:) I really like this article... makes me feel like I am not alone! jajaja There's girls all over world joining forces! :D Like I tell my mom my room  is my room, its the only space I have were it doesn't matter what I do... I am free to be!

I would just like to highlight the last paragraph of the article:
 But Matar doesn't lament what seems an undeniable "Westernization" of Lebanese teens. If anything, she celebrates the fact that girls will be girls no matter where they live.
Ideally, at a certain age, we grow more comfortable with who we are, and stop projecting who we want to be on walls and graphic T-shirts. But at that age, Matar says, "girls are very vulnerable ... even when they pretend not to be. They're trying to find who they are."
I don't know if I am the only rare girl, I never posted photos of celebraties and I didn't really wear graphic tees. However, my teenage years were experimental everything my parents allowed me to do I would explore it, which is when I found my pasion for photography and my ability to create concepts for my photo shoots. The photos on my walls are photos of countries, drawings I've done and moments with my friends! My room is my life in four walls, you can probably walk in it and pin point who I am... it's very updated jajaja :)! So yes your teenage years are to get to know yourself and see what path God has for you!:)
So this is to girls and our awesome personalized rooms! :)
