Some days you will feel free.
And the next day the old wound will knock on the door like it never left.
That doesn't mean you went backwards. That means you went deeper.
The mother wound, and the inner child doesn't heal in a straight line.
They heal in layers.
One day, you're fine. One day, a song, a smell, a tone of voice โ and suddenly you're seven years old again, wondering why you weren't enough.
That's not failure. That's the work showing you where it still lives.
Be gentle with yourself on those days.
You are not starting over. You are just healing a layer that is finally ready to be seen. ๐
Drop a ๐ if you needed to hear this today.
