I like this! I have a few things:
"Much like @Jot-Aro Kujo, you shouldn't be afraid to be girly."
"Surprise surprise, I actually bloomed (somewhat)! I may not have had the huge transformation I was expecting but I managed to burst out of that bubble. I can even ask for help in a store alone, how about that! So yeah, don't be afraid to get out into the world, it's not as scary as you think."
"Conversely watch yourself around boys, they don't always want to be 'just friends'. I recommend you clear that up early on in your friendships."
