Check in on a friend, a quick message can mean everything - Dolly's Dream

30/05/2026

She sat at the back and they said she was
shy
She led from the front and they hated her
pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her
guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her
silence
When she shared no ambition, they said it was
sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was
mad
They told her they’d listen then covered their
ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her
fears
And she listened to all of it thinking she should
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could
But one day she asked what was best for herself
Instead of trying to please everyone else
So she walked to the forest and stood with the
trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the
leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the
pine
And she told them what she’d been told time after
time
She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by
firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to
her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to
leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her
breathe

Perfection doesn’t build safety.
Return does.
Rupture is part of every relationship -
it’s what happens when two nervous systems meet, misread, miss, collide.
But it’s repair that teaches the brain
something deeper than getting it right: that connection can stretch, and still hold.
Children don’t need a flawless parent.
They need a parent who comes back - after the sharp tone,
the missed cue,
the moment that didn’t land.
Because in those returns, they learn something powerful: love doesn’t disappear when things get hard.
It repairs.
It stays.
It begins again.
‘I didn’t get that right. I’m here now. Let’s try again.’
This is how safety is built - not in perfection, but in the courage to return - Karen Young
