Mothering the Younger Me


Anonymous


You have been wandering lost and confused for so long. I know now that you just wanted a guide. I had no idea how much you needed to hear from me and how healing it would be for my younger self to receive it.

It is okay that you have been lost. I have not been much of a guide. But I am here to help you now. You are enough. The big kind heart inside of you still lives strong. I know now that you just wanted to be seen and heard. However, you didn’t know how to let your quiet voice be heard. Just know, I hear you now. I am freely giving you all that love, grace, and kindness.

You wanted to be more confident and now, look, the adult version is mentoring at work and been a middle school small group leader. You wanted to be chosen, and you are. You wanted love and you are loved. I love everything about you. Your perseverance and pushing through reading challenges. Fighting for graduating high school with honors. You did that!

Every battle fought was for a reason. I am who I am because I made it through those challenges. It is brave of you to let me mother you now. I am giving you that gift. How precious and what a huge gift! It is such an honor to be able to give you the things you needed so many years ago.
