The Child In Us

Sometimes, we must remember the child in us.

The child in us that we put aside —

who went through some of our greatest hurt.

During my healing process, I learned it is so important to confront her, resonate with our struggle, and bring her out of hiding. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it wasn’t for the little girl.

Healing is a life journey. But with each trial, I come out of the storm a stronger person.

It’s a great feeling when I can say for once in my life, I feel hopeful that I am following the right path. I am mentally stronger than I was before and that is empowering. My last few writing pieces have been about confronting my child self and coming to terms with the importance of her existence.

Sometimes I get so caught up in the monotony of life that I forget that she once was alive and present —

discovering and learning through a world that did not feel like it was made for her.

I recognize her now.

Confronting her means facing the truth of my past.

She’s honest. I’ve learned how to lie.

She’s brave. I’ve learned how to hide.
