Your inner child needs stability. A place to land. Solid ground.
Your inner child needs SAFETY. Somewhere along the way, the ground shifted under your feet — and your nervous system never forgot. Now you crave stability, routine, certainty. You need to know things won't suddenly change. You need to know people won't suddenly leave. You hold on tight to what's familiar because familiar means safe, even when familiar isn't always good. Your inner child is the kid who learned to be small, to not cause problems, to be "good" so the world wouldn't shake. But here's what you deserve to hear: You don't have to earn safety. You don't have to be small to be loved. You are allowed to take up space AND be secure. The ground beneath you is solid now — even if your body hasn't fully learned that yet.
Get your read — free on iPhoneyou spend your whole life building stability because you grew up in a house where the ground could shift without warning.
