Thoughts About Your Younger Self

Posted on 2 minute read

As I broach this learning subject, I often reflect on my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. These reflections allowed me to dig deep into my psyche to determine relevance, growth, and maturity. But most of all, this reflection allowed me to seek those psychological pitfalls that quietly impacted my life. I found this helpful in my quest to evaluate from whence I came to the now of my presence. When I discovered nothing wrong in certain stages of my life, this evaluation reminded me how far I have come in this quest to persevere. This mental journey through my life compelled me to embrace those character flaws by owning them, but most importantly, how I grew mentally and made the necessary adjustments to fix what was broken. Correcting those issues could be easier once you admit you are broken and flawed. When facing damaged areas of your life, you look at that tainted reality for resolutions. To admit errors, mistakes, and bad decisions is difficult, but in so doing, you reveal a part of you that doesn’t serve you well, and change must follow.

A lonely feeling
Seeking your better self.

While growing up, solitude and safety issues are critical; learning who you are and what you could become is your reward. You rely on your parents to guide you, advise you, and help you make sound decisions to arrive at a sustainable future. This road map kept me on track while enabling me to secure a level of maturity that compelled me to get out of my way. Granting yourself the willpower to be different, to think and behave differently, opens up opportunities you could never imagine. All sources of transparency for yourself will speak to ‘mind clarity’  while engaging all facets of your life that could be better if you tried. This new direction in your life isn’t easy to navigate and requires an unfiltered commitment. Living and becoming your honest self frees up the evil and deceit that lies in your wake. So, stand aside to watch who you can become if you only bow to not being perfect!

As I look back, I feel like my parents either weren’t able to give me a complete guide to life. There’s lots of things that I don’t understand that I’ll have to go through blind. I know its their fist time living life as well, so I don’t put it against them. Despite this, I wonder where I would be had I grown up under different circumstances. It doesn’t matter now though. I’m quite enjoying where life has been taking me while I learn how to adjust to changes by myself.

Angie…don’t let the broken little girl control the powerful woman you’re becoming” every tear, every scar, every moment of doubt, have shaped you, but it don’t have to define you. Your past is a part of your story, but everyday you’re creating a new chapter. The little girl on the inside of you, want feel seen and she want to feel safe. The little girl cries on days, you pretend to smile, she’s yearning for genuine love…but you can’t allow yourself to be used, to cover up the pain that she feels, when the world taught you how to ignore that little girl. Please don’t continue the habits of the world, and ignore the little girl, you are creating an inner conversation that becomes the woman who is okay with people consistently mistreating her, so when you show up for yourself…show up with love, understanding, a clear mind set, and a connection to your roots, you’lI know then, cause you’ll start growing from the inside out! Keep It Moving!
