Sarah Smith’s Path to Healing

Hey you,

I realised that we have been deluding ourselves for a long time, and I think I am starting to see where we ignored the actual truth in order to stay in our own truth.

I’ve been thinking about my teenage years a little these past few months because I want to heal you, my inner teen, now. So I need to know where you have been hurt.

What I’ve come to realise is that I am the one who hurt you the most.

I didn’t set boundaries, I didn’t respect boundaries and I made you feel small.

I made you feel small especially in terms of worth. I made you feel like you were a failure and as if you were never really liked. I never took your friends from you but I did take your popularity, your beauty and the love others gave you away.

I made you believe that no one was ever truly interested in you romantically even though it’s not true. When I look back at it, you were actually someone who may not have dated many people but you kind of always got the guy that no one else was able to.

I don’t want to use this to brag… but I do want you to know that you have always been that girl. You have always been someone people like and you have, in a way, always been special.

I haven’t got any better examples right now to support this claim but I will find them. It’s not me that suddenly became this person. We have always been it. We were just never able to show it.

It’s time to allow it now.

I hope you are able to.

Lots of love,
Me
