i encourage you to still try it anyway. there is no one i valued more as a teenager than my elders who supported me despite not being my flesh and blood. i don't think i'd be alive today without having those adults who just said "hey, you're you. i believe in you. you got this"

just don't show up trying to direct them. just listen and give your advice when they want it. someday they'll do the same for someone else, and it will be you they recollect inspiring them. our movement of love hinges entirely on the elders passing it on to the youth.

and everytime an elder supports a youth, that elder becomes immortal. we are all immortal so long as someone picks up our work and carries it forward. it is through this process that we will all someday be free. so please, don't be scared to hang out with some teens. just make it your responsibility within their group to keep their brains safe so their souls can be safe.
