Dear little inner child,
I see you. I feel you. I know you’re scared and lonely right now, and I want you to know — you are not alone. I am here, always. You don’t have to carry this by yourself anymore.
I know you’ve been hurt before. I know that trusting others feels like walking on a tightrope, never sure if the ground will be there to catch you. It’s hard to believe in love when you’ve been let down so many times. But hear me when I say this: You are worthy of love. You always have been. There are people in this world who will cherish you just as you are — no conditions, no expectations.
It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay to open your heart and let people in. You don’t have to bear the weight of the world alone. I know it feels safer to build walls, to guard yourself from pain. But love, true love, can only find you if you allow yourself to be seen. Letting others in is scary, but it can also be the most beautiful thing you ever do. You might be surprised by the warmth and kindness waiting for you.
I know that finding your place in this world feels overwhelming. You don’t have all the answers yet, and that’s okay. You don’t have to figure everything out today. Give yourself permission to explore, to try, to fail, and to grow. Life isn’t a race, and there’s no rush. You are exactly where you are meant to be.
Take care of yourself. Listen to what your heart and body need. Rest when you need to. Say no when something doesn’t feel right. Find the little things that bring you joy, whether it’s music, laughter, or quiet moments of peace. Your well-being matters. You matter.
Your past does not define you. Your wounds do not define you. You are not broken; you are becoming. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory. Celebrate yourself. Be proud of how far you’ve come.
And above all else, remember this: You are loved. I love you. The universe loves you. You are not a burden; you are a light in this world. You belong here, and you have so much to give.
With endless love and compassion,
Your Higher Self.
