-Hi Little one. I see you’re suffering. I promise, it’ll be ok. I’ll protect you.
-YOU’RE A LIAR. YOU HAVEN’T PROTECTED ME AND I WAS HURT.
-You’re right. Truth is, I cannot protect you from some things in life, if they’re meant to happen. But I can promise you I will aways be there for you–you are never alone.
-Hmmmmm….
-Also, you’re a LOT stronger than you believe. The things you think hurt you deeply barely touched an inch of who you really, truly are.
-Are you sure you’ll never leave me?
-Yes, I’m absolutely sure. You know what else I’m sure about?
-What?
-That you’re amazing. That I love you. And that you’ll make such beauty from these ugly moments, you will surprise yourself. Also, you are deserving of every good thing.
It took decades to learn how to talk myself with grace. No buts, no critiques, nothing but pure love.
