So many of us grew up learning how to survive, not how to simply be.
Especially in the queer community, childhood often meant hiding parts of ourselves just to stay safe.
But somewhere inside you, that child is still there — the one who loved freely, felt deeply, and just wanted to be seen.
This is your reminder: they didn’t disappear. They just learned to protect you.
💛 Come Back to the You That Needed Love
Maybe that child was scared.
Maybe they were lonely.
Maybe they dreamed in colours the world wasn’t ready for.
And maybe all they needed was someone to say,
“You’re safe now. I’m here.”
You can be that person for them today.
💫 Small Ways to Reconnect
- Do something joyful or silly — let yourself play again
- Speak to yourself with gentleness, not judgement
- Create without worrying how it looks
- Surround yourself with people who celebrate your full self
- Rest — because your inner child deserves peace
These tiny acts open the door back to who you were before fear got in the way.
🧡 Healing Is Brave
Finding your inner child isn’t weakness.
It’s courage.
It’s choosing softness in a world that taught you to harden.
It’s allowing yourself to reclaim joy you once had to hide.
