Child Teen You

It occurred to me while on my journey of healing that I would have to meet up with my inner child. She is the one who endured most of the unasked for pain from others. She is the one who was the keeper of all of my limiting beliefs.

Our time together was grief filled. Me wanting her to let go and her not believing that I could manage on my own. She'd been the one to shield my heart from more pain, not realizing that it was also stopping me from giving and receiving love.

As for my inner teenager, she too experienced unasked for pain, but was pretty much numbed out by then to really care one way or the other.

My adult self is when I realized that it was up to me to have the life that I knew I was worthy to have. I took back all of my power. I forgave others and I forgave myself. Finding gratitude in all things taught me to love. Realizing that there is no past, there is no future, there is only now brought me wisdom. Understanding that nothing exists unless I want it to exist gave me peace. Meeting my soul and accepting my purpose has given me a front row seat to the awesomeness that is God. <3
