Starting a self-love journey begins by allowing ourselves to feel.
When you do the work and reap the benefits,
It happens.
I couldn't help but feel my heart overflowing with this powerful feeling.
Love was pouring out of every pore of my skin.
My belly was clenching with this intense desire to share.
Share the love,
Share the progress,
And most importantly,
To share this feeling.
When you are emotionally handicapped,
It is very much a challenge to connect with your inner self,
Your inner feelings.
Feel inner love.
Simply feel.
The tap of emotions is often turned off and rusty.
Being able to feel emotions flowing freely is a delightful and terrifying feeling to get accustomed to.
I could feel my heart getting too big for my chest,
Softly cracking my ribcage to scream,
I am here.
I am here for you,
It said.
Although you gave up on me for a while,
I never gave up on you.
I waited patiently for your time to come,
To feel ready,
Ready to connect,
Simply ready to be.
I know what my heart would say because it's the same thing I've said to the little girl inside of me when I met her for the first time.
I'm here for you now.
I'm here.
I am ready to show up for you,
For us,
And to keep trying every single day.
My inner child's biggest fear was to feel.
To feel too much or not enough,
To be too deep,
To care too much,
To be so much that there is nothing left at all to be enough.
This little girl never fitted,
Never belonged,
Always felt lonely and trapped in her own head.
She used to be the lonely girl inside.
Until she wasn't.
