Every one of us who hasn't flinched in our growth is really cool

The film truly reflects the distress and distress of those unconfident girls in adolescence.

Everyone who has low self-esteem may be able to see who he once was from the heroine.

Practice dialogue in front of the mirror and try to cater to the group; write down your own small goals in the journal, such as want to become confident and make many friends; want to be a cool girl;

Attracted by the handsome boys in the class, always looking at him;

Longing for friendship and care but embarrassed by low self-esteem, trying to pretend to be confident, the ending is always embarrassing or even embarrassing.

But this is all part of growth.

This is not a failure or error, everything is slowly changing because of this.

Kayla, who burned the time capsule, gave up recording the video. She bravely opened up to her father and reprimanded the classmates who had turned her sincere on deaf ears.

She met Geb, who was willing to listen to her voice, even if chatting without margins would not make her feel embarrassed.

The most heartwarming thing in the film is the video recorded by Kayla, a junior high school student, of herself graduating from high school. "The bad things you experience now will not happen to you all the time. Everything will change. You will never know what will happen next. This is exciting, scary and interesting."

So, maybe it's just that you haven't found it yet, the right direction, the right friends, and your mature self.

Everything is slowly changing. Do not be afraid.

This is growth. The process may not be as brave or fearless as we imagined, and it may even feel ridiculous or embarrassing in retrospect, but at least we did not choose to back down, which is really cool.
