Innerchild Stories

I didn't grow up quiet. I grew up learning when it was safer not to speak. "These are the quiet moments I never said out loud - memories, realizations, and pieces of healing written in motion." Notes on Life & Movement is a series of reflections told through journal-style prose and poetry - tracing survival, softness, and self-discovery. Each volume explores a different part of healing: the heart, the past, and the quiet moments in between. This isn't about pity. It's about remembering. About hearing the child I once was and telling her, "You made it." Volume 3 is coming soon!!!!

Their hearts feel empty. His fear of attachment and her fear of abandonment. That always finds ways to not to trust people. How do they help each other to heal their inner child wounds? If they experience it the same. Written by : @adeseries
