You can't take them with you. You must leave the former versions of yourself behind. The version of you that is stuck in your mind - the version of you that was the most vulnerable. The version of you that was so overwhelmed and filled with so many emotions that you experienced numbness and lost the ability or desire to speak. The version of you that just wanted to be seen, heard, and understood. The version of you who needed to be healed, supported, and loved by the exact type of person you are today. The past versions didn't know then what you would become. They did the best they could, learned from each test, and never gave up. Their weakness led to your wisdom. Their struggles led to your strength. They had to think, react, and be all that they were then, so you could learn, heal, and become exactly who you are now.
