Thank you for sharing. It’s these hard roads as kids and self parenting that has made us the incredible and resilient beings we are today 🖤

I have no words for how this writing made me feel. It is such a good representation of how you are still going to have the inner child in you that experienced what seems like immovable woes. It sticks with you, for better or worse. I'm glad you were able to heal a little part of you with your own kid! :) You are an amazing writer.

Thank you Aubsea! I hope the feeling you got was a warm one :) I hope more people truly resurface their inner child and reflect on it. I feel like our younger selves are telling us something if we just look. I hope the next time you hug a pillow it brings them back.
