Have you ever, as an adult, wondered why something so small hurts so much? Yeah, that’s your inner child speaking.
Childhood, man, childhood is not something to be messed with.
If you’ve had a rough one, you know what I mean. It’s like the “normal” stuff easily feels impossible for you. There’s this turbulence inside you that no one else can see.
It’s wild how almost everything can be traced back to your childhood. Those early years – the foundation. That one window of time where your parents, your caregivers, should not mess up so badly. Because that stuff literally shapes your entire life.
But here’s the thing: if bad things did happen to you, those painful feelings got locked up inside you as a kid. That kid is still waiting, stuck in that moment that stunted them.
That kid has been forgotten about, and does not deserve to feel stuck.
You, as an older person, should do that kid justice and go back. Go back to that time and understand what happened.
The bravest thing you can do is hold that kid’s hand and walk them out of the dark. Set that kid free.
