I wanted to start a website for teenaged girls that was not kind of this one-dimensional strong character empowerment thing, because one thing that can be very alienating about a misconception of feminism is that girls then think that to be feminists, they have to live up to being perfectly consistent in their beliefs, never being insecure, never having doubts, having all the answers...and this is not true and actually, recognizing all the contradictions I was feeling became easier once I realized that feminism was not a rule book but a discussion, a conversation, a process.

I've been doing that for years.

I will try to hold on to the intense feeling. I will both be glad that thatâ€™s no longer happening and kind of miss it. When youâ€™re 14, youâ€™re basically on drugs all the timeâ€”the hormones in your body are so crazy. But I really loved and appreciated the intensity of that.
