Thoughts on healing…
There are younger versions of yourself still inside of you.
They may have been dismissed in the past, but when we don’t take the time to let them speak to us today, they get dismissed all over again.
I used to think it was ridiculous and indulgent to speak to my younger selves. Until I realized that’s exactly the impression that the grown-ups from my past gave me.
Our younger selves carry our first glimpses of creativity, our first glimmers of gold from our imaginations, our first best ideas.
Creating a connection with our younger selves connects us to the inspiration that we may be longing for, that may have gotten lost in that original sadness of being dismissed.
