The more you try to escape your internal anguish instead of giving your inner child loving care,

The louder your inner child will get.

The more you project your internal anguish outward instead of looking inward,

The more powerless you will feel.

The more you look outward for direction and validation,

The more lost and invisible you will feel.

The more you look inward and validate your inner child’s feelings and experiences,

The more seen, heard and real you will feel.

Nothing external will ever satisfy if we are running from pain inside ourselves.

All human relationships are mirrors.

All of life is a mirror.

There is no way to escape your inner world, it must be faced patiently and lovingly.

The more you give your inner child loving care and attention,

The more safe and secure you will feel.

The more you look inward with compassion and curiosity,

The more powerful, integrated and whole you will feel.

I had a mini flashback/panic attack in front of my rabbit earlier and I was worried it would scare him and he just got closer to me 😭 like on his own I can’t 😭😭

"my mother" by lea jane

[whatbigotspost]

Today I am reminding myself that one of the biggest ways I live in defiance of my abusive parent is to love myself annoyingly and relentlessly.

The hateful words that run in my mind are his, not mine. The lifelong act of relentless self hatred and metaphorical self flagellation by denying all joy and happiness is his thing, not mine.

I’m not perfect but I’m sure as fuck lovable and worthy of that love. Worthy of love from others and myself.

Maybe you needed to hear this today too?
