📞✨ Incoming Call from Your Inner Child: “It’s Me Again! The OG You!”

Ring ring! Answer, pleeeease! 📞💖

“Hiiiii! 🙃 It’s me — your forever tiny sidekick, snack-loving, dream-chasing, slightly-chaotic Inner Child!

I popped back in ‘cause we didn’t finish talking, and, um… some stuff’s still stuck in your grown-up backpack. 💼🍬

So… you remember how hard it was sometimes?

Not just the scraped knees, but like… the heart scrapes? 😢

Like when the kids in the neighborhood made fun of how I talked or dressed or didn’t know how to climb the monkey bars right?

🐒Or when I brought my favorite toy to school and someone said, “That’s dumb,” and I pretended I didn’t care, but I did… a lot. 😞

And when Mom yelled in front of people — maybe at the store or by the school gate — and I felt soooooo embarrassed. Like, everyone must know now that I was the kid with the “too loud” mom. 🙈

And my tiny brain thought, “If she’s mad, maybe she doesn’t love me anymore.”

I didn’t know that grown-ups just… yell sometimes – like dad also used to do. But they still love us hard. 💔➡️❤️

I didn’t have the tools to know that kids who are mean? They’re usually hurting too.

I just thought, “Something’s wrong with me.” I’m too fat, too ugly. I’ll never be accepted. I’ll never fit in and be cool. 😔

But heyyy — I also had BIG dreams! 🚀Like, huge.

I was gonna be:

• An astronaut floating past Mars like “bye Earth!” 🌌
• A famous dancer spinning so fast I’d turn into glitter! 💃✨
• An actor that made the whole world cry and laugh in the same scene. 🎭
• Or just drive Dad’s car (with my arm out the window like in the movies 😎), making all the other kids — and even my siblings — totally jealous! 😂💨

So yeah… I had some heavy stuff. But I also had magic.

And you — big, shiny, wise you — can drop the heavy parts now. You don’t have to live by my fears anymore. You’re not on the schoolyard, and even if someone is loud or grumpy or doesn’t like your socks… it’s not the end of the world like I used to think. 😅🌈

Let me keep the dreams, okay?

You take the wheel now. But maybe sometimes… let’s still pretend we’re astronauts. Or sneak a dance in the mirror. Or eat ice cream before dinner. Just because. 🍦🚀

Love you bigger than Jupiter,

Lil’ You 🌟🛸

(P.S. You really did become someone cool. Way cooler than the kid with jelly on their shirt ever imagined!)”
