my new therapy, hello tumblr
"I like talking; it's fun when people listen to you." - a traumatized teen (me)
How do I go back to being that weird 9 year old full of whimsy that I used to be I need her backkk
I wish I could hug my inner child like this and tell them everything turns out okay š„¹
Hereās a piece I made for school that Iām super proud of !!! My first actual animation! It took me 20 hours in total, and itās about healing your inner child.
Song belongs to Mother Moon
Iām not sure what happened to her insta, but I can link her YouTube and her books! Enjoy!!!
society would be so much better if everyone just admitted they wanted a teddy bear.
none of this āits childishā crap. you wanna give a squishy fluffy bear a hug i know u do.
admitting it is the first step to emotional maturity mhm.
"Your trauma makes you stronger"
No, my trauma gave me depression, quiet & self-destructive bpd, anxiety, insomnia and a inner child that desperately wants to get healed.
Scared of being alone, only pleasing other people desperately trying to have friends, to not be the outstander.
I was a child. I wanted to be protected by the persons that hurt me. I wanted their help & their love. And now I am the person struggling to accept care even though I want it because it makes me feel trapped & dependent. I am the person struggling to show love.

sometimes i think of 5th grade me and how hurt she was and how much i hate her and how she is stillme and how i love her so much and then i cry
where I've been lately....
On the train for the first time in like, 10 years. Gosh I feel like a little kid again. I strode myself through the passenger cars, gandering at the cool, button-opened doors, peeking through the windows at the passing night-lit townscape, even stopping once to look at a fucking wall of a hallway, all while grinning like an absolute buffoon and earning few laughs from my fellow third-years returning from the school cruise with me. It's in these situations where I really do feel most alive, I think. The kind of mundane, yet special-feeling moments like these. So glad to be alive.
Someone said happiness will come to me but when? Am i the only one who believes that good things must come into my life in a stipulated time, otherwise itās like trying to feed someone whoās already full?
And my ptsd driven brain just reaffirms this idea, a timely positive prescence is more important than anything else
The problem was perhaps that I existed, and you existed. We could not overlook each other, yet all we ever offered one another was pain and bitter memories.
indoor ocean, 4/3/24
this piece was inspired by a conversation I had with a kid. we were playing with some wooden toy fish and we spilled the whole box of them on the floor, and then he told me that the carpet was the ocean. i loved that imaginative moment. i've been in a few conversations about tapping into your inner child recently, and i myself have been trying to grasp onto more moments of imagination like we had so freely as children.
okay, but for real, this is my fav AI art piece that I've ever gotten from my haikus. gotta love the wombo dream app.

Ok but really if you like neat animation and original music from a feeble new artist you should check out my first music video/senior thesis project. Also stay till the end or check the description to see all of the INCREDIBLE artists & everyone else who worked on this project with me.
I bought a kids dressmaker set that allows you to push the fabric into holes of the doll and I had to buy it. Listen, don't judge me. This is healing my inner child that wanted to be a fashion designer.
(I'm not gonna be a fashion designer anymore, right now I'm in 9th grade and once I get out of school in the next like 4 years, hopefully I'll be able to start studying psychology)
Lately Iāve reflected on my adoration for @taylorswift when I was a kid. I was born in 2001 which made me 5 when her first big time album Debut was released.
By the time I was 6 I was singing along to tear drops on my guitar and shouldve said no like it was nobodyās business. However it wasnāt until I was 7 or 8 when my favorite song of all time became my personal anthem for years.
You Belong With Me was and has always been my go to jam especially when Iām having an anxious day. As a kid I always felt like an outsider. I didnāt have many friends I could rely on, I dressed differently, I thought differently, and I was very sensitive to that.
This song became something I would scream at the top of my lungs hoping anyone would listen. That was the moment I realized that although Taylor Swift didnāt know me, and might never know meā she knew what it was like to be that girl. The one who was awkward and different and too kind and innocent and naive for her own good.
I grew up feeling like I wasnāt normal or good enough but songs like You Belong With Me really gave me a sense of belonging and pride.
After that, it was history. RED was my first big concert at METLife stadium. Reputation re-ignited my love for Taylor Swift (digging me out of the trenches of my screamo emo phase)
And now as a grown ass woman the Eras Tour has brought me back to the girl I once was. I mean if you asked 12 year old me if Iād go see my favorite artist with a best friend that I love Iād say youāre kidding!! As dramatic and crazy as it may sound @taylorswift helped heal my inner child.
She grew with me. Her music has a genre and sound and feeling for every moment of my life and I really think that is something so special.
If thereās anything I can give back to her itās a big olā hug, a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies, and my undying love for her and her music.
Sheāll never see this butā¦Thank you for changing my life Taylorāyou fucking rock so hard.
In honor of the nostalgia of it all Iām linking a Spotify playlist with all my favorite songs from when I was a kid!
The way so many of the characters this episode had story beats dealing with their inner child was something so powerful to see:
Roy receives an endearingly childish shirt from his niece, which he wears and is then told that he looks happier than ever in it ā and then proceeds to tell Keeley how he feels in said shirt
Rebecca is about to have a panic attack, visualizes her inner child in her place, and then works herself through the anxiety, choosing to go to the meeting because that child deserves to stand up for herself
Nate looks through his childhood things, plays the violin, and learns that all along his dad was really proud of him and just wanted him to be happy ā and then he does a kind gesture for Will
Keeley reminds Rebecca that all of the men in the meeting were once little boys, and like the mirror scene, this allows her to appeal to the boys inside all of those men as she stands up to them
At one point or another, each of the characters were just kids who had all these hopes and dreams, but life happens and we all deal with shit, but by confronting the wounds they faced in their childhood and healing their inner child ā the characters are allowed to grow and move on
i think i have six blogs but i meant for this to go here
i loved barbies so much when i was younger and the new barbie movie reminded me of favorites such as swan lake and the twelve dancing princesses, but it has also dug from the depths of my memory- Barbie Birthday Party at Walt Disney EPCOT from 1994 and i am now watching it and reconnecting with little me watching this on VHS with conviction
just your daily reminder that the gear you use does not have to align with your little age!
if you're a kiddo regressor but you like to use pacis and wear onesies thats cool and awesome. if you're a baby regressor but you like to wear pretty dresses and makeup thats also cool and awesome. dont be afraid to use gear that "doesnt make sense for your age"!! the only requirement to use gear is that it makes you happy and helps you regress.
thisā¦I-Iā¦*covers face with hands and tries not to cry*
THIS please please Iām begging you
"If you see the boy I used to be,
Could you show him a little kindness?"
I'm so normal about Anson Seabra. Was gonna make an animatic but it just didn't feel right, so y'all get this instead.
