Hopelessness is a luxury the majority don’t have right now. For procrastinators, this is go time. Stay grounded in your FA. Remember that we are all connected. -When the Adaptive Teen wants to burn the whole thing down remind them “I’m so proud of how fiercely you love. Remember, you were indoctrinated and uphold the system of oppression with your perfectionism and righteousness. When you want to punish and destroy, you perpetuate the oppression by repeating the cycle of harm. Rest, sweetheart. I know loving one another with firm boundaries feels too vulnerable right now, but it’s the only way to turn the tide.” -When the Wounded Child wants to give up remind them, “I’m so sorry you felt unsafe and couldn’t trust the parent who was supposed to protect and love you in a way that felt empowering. Your parent responded to you in that way bc they were not resourced due to the impact of collective trauma their families of origin were surviving. It was never about you, sweetheart. Put it down. I, your functional adult, stop that cycle of harm now internally to make a world where it is about you, your preciousness, your right to live fully as you are wherever you are, to hold yourself accountable when you make mistakes and grow in interdependence. You are as important as every other child on this planet—no more and no less. I will protect you from harm and neglect. And I will speak out and take action in ways that I can to turn this tide by staying rooted to the land and connected to the sun, embodied in my boundaried Self. ❤️‍🔥✨
