I finally helped the younger me move on.
In March I returned to my hometown and my elementary school.
As I walked through the school, so many memories came back.
Getting made fun of for crying over someone stealing my toy- little did they know I had so much bad stuff going on at home and I didn’t know how to express my emotions. The toy stealing was just the tipping point. It was never about the toy.
I also remember I was on the playground and some kid pushed me off the monkey bars area. My back was bruised. But I did not tell anyone. Again, I did not know how to express myself and did not want others to worry, so I kept it to myself.
As I walked through the classes I attended, I remembered how the teachers told me I needed extra help and how the other kids called me stupid.
As I relived each of these experiences, I give love to my younger self.
My intention with this visit was to relives some of the memories to see if I still needed to work through them. It was also to help reassure and guide the younger version of me that he is enough, and he didn’t deserve all the bad things that happened to him.
On this episode, I go into detail about what I said to my inner child regarding each of these tough situations.
I also cover how I felt after the conversation, the emotions I felt, the tears I shed and something new the younger me taught me.
Love your inner child like it's it's own person.
