♡ My Safe Space ♡

Certain toys and cartoons trigger you and that is ok. It's ok if toys you used to play during your childhood trigger you and make you feel bad emotions. It's ok to avoid them. ♡

Some days you will be curled up in your bedroom floor, body shaking and tears running down your face feeling so small in a big, big world. You will feel like you once did when you were physically a child: frightened, unsafe, broken, unseen. Those are trauma signs. You are not broken. You are important, you are seen, you are healing (even if slowly). It's ok to have those days. It's temporary. You will be ok.

It's ok if you are jealous of actual children. Its okay if your heart hurts when u see children being taken care of, doing things u never had the change to do, with good parents, spoiled with love, attention and tons of toys. Its ok if u feel your heart breaking. You're not a bad person. I know you dont wish them bad things. You just wanted to have it too, to be loved and cared even if u are an adult. You're not bad. I promise.

I have so much faith in you. Keep going🌼
