Our Inner Child



It's natural to want to be close to those we love, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It's natural to want to be respected, loved, and be put first in a relationship. Conversely, when these needs are not met, it's natural to be bitter, resentful, and hurt. We are, after all, human beings. Human beings are far from perfect in every way ... we are perfectly imperfect, in fact.

 
Sometimes the spaces between us and those we love are great, and it can result in our feeling disconnected and apart from others. How do we reconnect and begin feeling united with others again?

 
We all have an Inner Child who requires love, nurturing, respect and acceptance. Our Inner Child needs to be heard and his or her feelings validated. Can we rely on others for this validation? I believe that we need to rely on our Adult Self to nurture, love, and accept our Inner Child. We can not rely on someone else to make us feel special. We truly need to do that for ourself. So, how does one acheive this? We strive every day to do the best the we can, for ourselves and for those who truly matter in our lives. Sound simple? It isn't.
