Wow, this moved me on today! thank you for articulating what it feels like to face our little selves again and love them. reminds me of bell hooks writing about a childhood pic she loved and grieved losing: “There is a look of heavenly joy on my face. I grew up needing this image, cherishing it — my one reminder that there was a precious little girl inside me able to know and express joy.“
‘Celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and failed’.
Fully relate to the vulnerability hangover 😂 it’s hard to know the balance between the feeling of sharing too much and too little. This was beautifully written and utterly, humanly relatable.
Good afternoon. Thank you for sharing, it really is needed. I am working on healing my inner child and this has been a reminder to keep it up.
-Also, to the thought that everyone who goes into the desert, dies, I can say that I have been stuck in the desert and came close but survived. Gonna have to write about that. 😅👍🏼
I’m a Robert too. I’m lucky - my parents took hundreds of pix of me as a child. But this one picture of you, Robert, and your words today have made cry, so that I can barely see what I am typing now. Bless you, fellow Robert.
No words just 😭😭
i’m in tears today. this was a step forward that I didn’t expect.
