Rec | A SHORT LETTER TO MY INNER CHILD :)

📝

i know you remember a lot of things i forgot -maybe you thought it was to much to handle. I know it was the right thing to do THEN. But someday, I'll recall the memories you erased from my brain, so I can heal the wounds you never talked about. I can still feel them, you know ? These wounds. I can feel them and nothing else. I don't know who hurt you and how, but i'm going to figure that out. For you. And me. So we can both heal. Because that's the right thing to do NOW.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

I can recognize the adult faces of children I was in school with. I can remember the dragon tattoo on the forearm of a boy I only shared one conversation with. So, please imagine what I can remember of you. I hate the fact that I remember it. The way you fidgeted with your hair, the way you ate like a slob, the way you’d keep me up late with a call. I remember it because I loved it all. Every second of every hour. Every succulent and every flower. I gave them to you even though you hated them. Still, with grace you accepted my rose. Only to see my smile and the widening of my nose. I remember how we found out you were a comic and I was a poet. In the way that my jokes didn’t land and you couldn’t rhyme. Right then and there we were over. We just didn’t know it. I remember our final conversation. I was headed home and you were head to New York. That night we didn’t say goodbye, only a “see you later.” I remember feeling like that was a lie.

Glimpses of child-LIKE JOY

Not a rec but here to tell you that I also don’t remember my childhood very well. I once had a conversation where I realized *I* was the weird one for not remembering much. I kind of wondered for a long time what was wrong with me. My memory is pretty bad generally to this day :/ Just putting this here so you feel a little less alone in this. My therapist will also try to get me to remember my child self but I feel pretty removed from her. It kind of sucks, but also I feel like i get glimpses… I recently started using stickers in my journal when I’ve completed a book, and it makes me feel like a child again, but I really love it. Maybe there are glimpses that will come to you, but it’s hard to go looking for them

do you ever think about getting older and forgetting the things and the people you loved that saved you when you were a kid? and essentially losing touch with your younger self? and how those things and those people and that kid will always be there for you, in ways you'll never understand? me neither!
