When I was a child, I believe around 10 ish give or take a lil, I made a journal. I had what I would consider a rough childhood is ways. I say that because I felt deeply motivated to support myself in that environment. As an adult now, I have been trying to find healing or just some presence and freedom from maybe mental or emotional captivity. I see that the pages I wrote were so soaked in creativity, color, and light. I woke up with “the power of now” playing on audible. I started making little present choices and found myself grabbing my old journal and passing through the pages. I’ve heard this idea of “reparenting” mentioned as a way of tending to the child in you that was abandoned or hurt. When I read my journal, I realized that as a child I was lending love and nurturing to myself that is truly inspiring to me now. Here are a few pages I want to share. The last page (black and white) is one that I made as an adult.
