Some portraits and proof of life.

[etalterum]

I’m okay in the adult sense. I get up, I function, I grow. But if I’m being honest, it feels like I’m walking through life holding the hand of my inner child—and she’s still weeping.

She had finally found her playground. A place, a person, where she felt safe enough to just be. That friend... she became that place for us. I was building my vision of emotional safety around her. I worked hard at it—not to impress, but because I wanted to protect that space with everything I had. Maybe I seemed rigid or intense, but it was never fake. It was the most real I’ve ever been.

When that friendship ended, it didn’t just feel like a loss. It felt like someone dragged my inner child out of the one place she didn’t want to leave. And now, I carry her grief with me. I’m not broken—but I am still grieving that safety, that connection.

So yeah—I’m moving forward. I’m strong. But I’m also tending to a softer part of me who still looks back at the gates of a playground she wasn’t ready to leave.”**
