In the midst of my healing work or even on a random Saturday, I find myself thinking about the younger me. The various stages of me at different ages and I think about what she could’ve used to feel safer, feel more confident, more seen, or more heard.
This little Pakistani girl with the big hair that didn’t have many friends, was obsessed with her family (especially my older siblings), grew up afraid of her own shadow, but apparently was always full of love.. or so I’ve been told lol.
My therapist asked me one day, what can we give her now that she didn’t have and what can we work towards giving your future kids that you didn’t have?
I don’t always get it right. I make ginormous mistakes OFTEN, but one thing I know for sure is that I try my absolute best for little me and future little me’s 🫶🏼
