It Wasn’t Your Fault 🫶🏼

There’s a little girl inside of me…

quiet, wounded, and still waiting to be seen.

She didn’t get the love she needed,

the safety she craved,

the softness she deserved 😔🫶🏼

And now—

she shows up in the way I love,

in the way I trust,

in the way I see myself 💜

Childhood trauma doesn’t just fade with time…

it follows us—

until we choose to stop running

and start healing. 🌸

I can carry it forever…

or I can set it down.

I can repeat the pain…

or I can rewrite the story.

She deserves peace.

I deserve peace.

And every day, I choose to give her that. 💗

... Read moreChildhood trauma can have profound effects on individuals, often leading to patterns of attracting emotionally unavailable partners. This phenomenon stems from the unresolved pain carried from childhood, where the 'abandoned little girl' within us forms attachments based on familiar patterns associated with past wounds. Understanding these dynamics is crucial in breaking the cycle of pain. To begin healing, it's important to acknowledge these feelings and understand that they do not define us or our future. Engaging in practices such as journaling, mindfulness, and therapy can facilitate profound insights and healing. Remember, the journey to healing the inner child is as unique as each person and often requires patience and compassion toward oneself. Additionally, surrounding oneself with supportive communities can greatly enhance the healing process. Support groups that focus on inner child healing can provide validation and understanding, allowing individuals to share their experiences and strategies for moving forward. In the quest for self-love, it’s essential to rewrite the narrative we hold onto. Learning to nurture and provide the love that was once missing can lead to transformational changes in how we see ourselves and engage with the world. So, take the first step – acknowledge her, love her, and guide her towards a brighter and more peaceful future.

Toddler won’t listen? It’s not your fault 👂
I used to think I was doing something wrong every time my toddler walked away mid-sentence. Then I learned something that changed everything: the part of the brain responsible for listening, following directions, and compliance isn’t functional yet. It won’t fully develop until their MID-20s.

Your Childhood Wasn’t Your Fault — But Healing Is
At some point in adulthood, the excuses expire. Your past may explain the wounds, but it doesn’t get to control your future. Healing isn’t easy—but ownership is power. #adultlife #healingera #selfreflection #growthseason #mindsetshift

It wasn't my fault
I was eating less. Moving more. Doing everything I was told. But my body wasn’t in fat-loss mode. It was in survival mode. And survival mode protects weight. That was the missing signal no one taught me. #weightlossjourney #fatlossblocked #insulinresistance #metabo

The Fault Is in the Deception — Not Your Trust
👇🏼 After being betrayed, it’s common to turn on your own openness, to label yourself too trusting, too naive, too much. But the problem was never your capacity to trust. The problem was someone who deliberately presented themselves as trustworthy and wasn’t. You didn’t fail. You were deceived.

An open book displays a poem on its right page. The title 'getting over you' is at the top right. The main text reads: 'perhaps you wanted it so badly and that was why it didn't work.' A 'Lemon8 @1mtone' watermark is visible at the bottom left.
I thought it was love. it wasn’t.
#fyp #mentalhealthawareness #love #poem #ex Thinking about it just bums me out. I love her. At least I think I do. Because she made my heart beat in two. I hate admitting that. I know I’ll probably never see her again. Never hear her voice. Never know the person she’s become.

When Willpower Wasn’t Enough, I Found a GLP-1
I blamed myself for years. For the hunger. The shame. The exhaustion. The hiding. I thought it was all my fault, until I started a GLP-1 and realized it was biology, not willpower. This isn’t just about lbs. It’s about finally having the tool to stop surviving and start healing. I’m not
