A little little and big big feelings.
Being little, for this little one, wasn't so little at all. Even though they were small, they felt everything so large! Like the size of an elephant, and the speed of a plane, it was so much.
When kiddo was happy, it was like fireworks! It was like explosions of all their favorite things, it was like bright bright yellow, like the sun on a warm, hot day.
When kiddo was sad, it was like a bad bad storm. With so much rain, and roads that flood! It was like a dark, spooky black, like a pit with no bottom that they trip and fall into.
When kiddo was confused, it was like the whole wide world swirled upside down! Like not a thing made sense! It was like tangled up hair; so so hard to get through.
When kiddo was angry, it was like fire and ice! So extreme and so sharp; and it sounded like thunder! It was like such foggy days, making it so they couldn't see a thing but all those feelings.
And yet, kiddo was still little! With all this big, bright, spooky, confusing emotions, that just felt too much. Too much, like it was going to break the little one into pieces, with how much it was! Oh, it was so difficult for such a small thing.
With all these emotions, it was hard to be okay. All that pressure made them so tired. Were they too much?, they would wonder. Will anyone be able to handle how much I feel?, they questioned. I can't even handle how I feel, little one sighed.
But, baby, it's okay. My, you have such big emotions! Big, like mountaintops and skyscrapers! But that doesn't make you bad. It doesn't make you 'too much'. For you, such an emotional kiddo, you deserve to feel as much as you need. And to be held, and cradled. You'll have sweet, comfy things, to ease all that pressure, of those big big feelings.
No matter if you fuss or hit when anger is too much, you'll be hushed and held. No matter if you scream or run when joy is so so so bright, you'll be applauded and accompanied. No matter if you cry or shout, when things make no sense, you'll have your tears dried and everything explained simply. No matter if you want to run away, when things get so so so so sad, you'll have your CG's arms to run right into.
I hope you enjoy this! Thank you so much for the ask, anon. I hope this approach was quite nice for you. I know many things can cause people to have such big emotions. Know it's okay, and that you are never too hard to handle. You are just as easy to handle as anyone else, kiddo. You deserve the love, regardless of how big your emotions feel on you. You deserve to share the weight of them, not bear it alone.
