Ugh. I love this. There is so much power and pain in this. Nothing feels harder than trying to heal a wounded inner child, to fix the cracks that have remained and still bleed in our adulthood. Or even just acknowledging its presence and trying to grow from there when wounds cannot be fixed. But is a beautiful fight, nonetheless. Now is the time to be entirely, irrevocably you. Great write, Elliott.

There is a fright, a confusion and realization all wrapped in this write with pain as a backdrop...

Nicely penned and way to go!
