Blunt Force Truth: For many, the identity put forward as self is nothing more than a shell of protection for their inner child. But that shell becomes their own prison used to lock away their hurt, their trauma, and their worst fears. Protection mechanisms are often one’s own bondage. Their inner child gets left behind. Forgotten. Buried deep within one’s psyche. And it can usually be traced back to one’s limiting decisions made during the early imprinting stages of childhood development. Here’s the key–simply be aware. You don’t have to cover your pain. You don’t have to keep making up stories. You don’t have to be held to your stories. That’s fear, worry, and anxiety bring projected from your bondage. Let that shit go! What if instead, you could see it as a love note from your inner child? And then what would you say to that child in return? Write a love note to yourself and open the door. Self becomes transformed, and walls come down. Your identity was never intended to be your own prison. What if instead, it could be a smile that brightens someone else’s day? Do that. Free yourself. Love yourself. Let yourself–your true self–shine upon this world. Thank you. It is done. It is done. It is done.
