THE PART OF YOU THAT DESERVES TO EXIST
To the girls who are afraid to admit they regress...
You learned to survive by growing up too fast.
You became the strong one. The quiet one. The one who needed nothing.
So when that softer part of you finally reaches the surface, you're terrified someone will laugh.
That they'll call you childish. Attention-seeking. Broken.
So you hide her.
You make her disappear before anyone else has the chance.
But she isn't something to be ashamed of.
Whether you call it regression, your inner child, or simply the part of you that never got to feel safe, she deserves compassion andnot ridicule.
You don't have to force yourself to be "grown" every second of every day just because the world expected it of you.
Healing doesn't always look like becoming harder.
Sometimes it looks like finally giving the smallest, quietest part of yourself permission to exist.
And there is nothing shameful about that.
