All declarations
I M forgiving the man I had to become to get us both here.
Wisdom
You judge your survival self by rules he never got to live under. He was not building a life. He was buying you time. Thank him, then let him retire.
Carry It
Name one hard choice you still hold against your past self, and today, out loud, forgive him for it.
Ask Yourself
Which version of you are you still punishing for doing exactly what it took to survive?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
