GMBW + change

These are just my thoughts on the Girl Meets World episode I'm watching now. I haven't kept up with every single episode of the second season, and have only made it halfway through the first season on Netflix; but I've become a major Lucaya fan and a huge fan of Sabrina Carpenter's music and how outspoken Rowan is at only age 14. Anyways, in "Girl Meets Bay Window" there were a lot of important lessons to learn and important quotes to be heard. I loved Maya's line of "Whether we like or not" in regards to change...because she was the one that was hesitant to change the bay window in the first place. The emotions both Rowan and Sabrina brought to this episode was incredible and Corey and Peyton were phenomenal as well. I mean I, at almost 21 years old could relate to something that 14 year olds were going through. I about cried with them. "I can't wait to see what's next, I hope it's good" - love that line from Riley! The only caveat I had with this (and some other episodes too) is the slight preachy vibe that Riley's character gives off. I don't know if it's just how Rowan speaks on the show or if her character is written this way, but sometimes it comes across as a bit too juvenile and fake. NOT HATING ROWAN AS A PERSON OR RILEY AS A CHARACTER. it's just something I've been noticing lately. Like she seems to force Maya into things, even if Maya is resistant at first. And I mean, sure, sometimes friends can know what's good for you...but Riley just pushes and pushes until it makes me feel so bad for Maya. I understand it's a show, but goodness I would hate for it to be a life sometimes. I wouldn't want to be forced to hide my feelings or be forced to change a safe space. So I feel for Maya having to do that. 👩🏼😕 I would feel so betrayed at first if my best friend just tore a curtain off of my safe place. I mean if someone doesn't listen to you, that hurts. And so I can just see Maya's hesitations is all I'm saying. I just recently chopped my hair from past my chest till about the end of my bra strap. It was five inches that were cut, and while I wanted a cut that would make it look thicker and feel healthier, I guess I didn't realize when I said off my chest and pointed, that it would be a medium length now. I probably could have left an inch on; but I obviously can't change it now. Which kinda sucks but at the same time, my hair is healthier and just looks so much more proportional and has way less damage now. So I can see how change can benefit us; but I can also see how being hesitant is normal too. Point being: you should only change when you're ready, not just because someone else wants you too. And maybe it'll surprise you and be something that you'll have to get used to. Or maybe it's something that you needed even if it wasn't what you thought. Or maybe it was exactly what you wanted and everything worked out perfectly. Or maybe it's something that happened and that you'll need time to figure things out. That last one is kinda where I'm at. "It'll happen. Just give it time." 🕥😌🌙👍
