Homesick for the girl I used to be?
Sometimes I miss the girl who didn’t know what she knows now.
She laughed louder. Dreamed without fear. Believed people’s words. Let herself be soft without explaining why.
And maybe she was naïve, but she was also full of wonder. And she deserved more gentleness than the world gave her.
Now, I protect her. I speak for her.
I still carry her laughter in my chest.
And I honor her by becoming someone who feels like home. Finally, to myself.
So if you ever feel like you lost a piece of you…
maybe you’ve been building a softer place for her to return to all along.
Do you ever feel this way too? What version of you are you healing back to? This is a safe space. I’m reading every word.

Sometimes I miss the “nicer” version of me. The me that was caring and loving and gave without a second thought. Yet I am proud of the new me, she is smarter and doesn’t allow people to use her just for their gain and/or benefit. I can now say no even if they don’t like it and it not make me feel guilt. I had to be pushed to this point because takers have no limits so I had to set my own.
