Ha ha, I've never heard that one before but I love it! I was an EXTREMELY SPIRITUAL 13 year old girl and at 42, much of my current spiritual practice is allowing myself to return to that state.
that's interesting, why a 13 year old girl? because girls are taught not to take so much pride (hmmm, but repression and play acting aren't the real thing). I'm a female, btw, and was once a 13 yr old girl, and it might be true, that navigating all the guys eyes on new body parts and so on, whilst not being allowed to sit for exams perfectly able to ace, and sexism in general, did maybe teach us something, but that kind of depended on where you stood vis a vis your appearance - exactly the same conundrum - is being pretty worth pride? (no was always my answer, it was a genetic accident obv)
A little like the meme “men do shrooms once and realize things 13 year old girls have discovered alone in their bedrooms” but I feel seen nonetheless
