Message to Inner Child... â¤ď¸âđŠš
I apologize if you felt that you needed to be flawless to be accepted. It shouldn't have been necessary to earn love.
I apologize for teaching you to keep quiet to maintain harmony. You were worthy of being heard fearlessly.
I'm sorry that you felt invisible when you needed someone to see you. Your desires and emotions were worthy of being acknowledged.
I now realize that your body and mind, those protective parts, intervened because they felt compelled to. They protected you in every way possible, held onto tension, and guarded your heart. I appreciate everything they did to keep you safe.
I sincerely apologize for reinforcing your shame in the process of trying to fix you. Like the adults around you, I can now see all the ways that I abandoned you. You were never damaged. You were always complete and worthy of affection.
As I turn to face you, I would like to tell you... I am incredibly proud of you for surviving, finding light amid darkness, and persevering when it seemed impossible. I swear to check in with you, listen, and show you the love you've always earned from now on. Now you're safe with me.
I love you just the way you areâI see you, I hear you.
