I would love to discuss the 'girlhood' article. As someone who is 24 what resonated with me throughout that article is how I have been using 'girlhood' as an excuse to avoid my inevitable getting older. It seemed connecting with current trends defined as 'for the girls' allowed me to feel as if I still belonged with younger girls as I also am 'just a girl.' Most social media and influencer platforms focus on shallow depictions of what it is like being a woman and there is an abundance of content pushing the idea that girlhood is mostly materialistic, makeup or self care. However we are so much more than that and this is why I love your content Maalvika, always captivating and thought provoking. Whilst I really enjoyed the article I also think something that was missed is that this new 'girlhood' focus has brought together a positive community of girls supporting other girls. Whilst some aspects may be misleading, there is a calming sense of community.

I would love a whole article on the psychology of money!
