The version of you you’ve been trying to erase…
is the version that needed the most love 🤍
The one who reacted.
The one who struggled.
The one who didn’t handle things the way you wish you had.
It’s easy to look back and feel frustrated with her.
To wish you were different.
To wish you knew more.
But she wasn’t wrong.
She was doing the best she could…
with what she had at the time.
She didn’t need judgement.
She needed support.
And maybe no one showed her that.
So now… you get to.
Not by pretending she didn’t exist.
Not by pushing her away.
But by meeting her with understanding.
Because healing isn’t becoming someone new…
It’s learning to hold every version of yourself
with a little more compassion.
🤍
