When I look at photos like these, I don’t see a child who needed correcting.

So many of us were mislabeled instead of listened to. Nothing was wrong with you. You were responding to the world as honestly as you could.
Be gentle with that child today. They carried more than they should have.

It’s strange how much we hold onto from childhood.
When I started deconstructing, I realized most of it was just unlearning. Letting go of the stuff that was put on top of who I actually was. And underneath all of that, I started to find the kid I used to be.

This was inspired by my own life as well as the stories of so many people I talk with who grew up terrified of going to Hell and eternal torment and separation from loved ones.

I grieve my mom with a depth that comes from years of real connection. I grieve my dad with a different kind of ache, one rooted in the relationship that never existed. That pain is real, and I refuse to feel guilt or shame about it. It simply is, and I need to honour that.
