Hey sis!!!
How long more do you need to keep feeling unseen even in a room full of people?
How long more will you keep disappearing because you think no one is seeing you?
How long will you let the little girl inside of you feel unsafe and unsure that she keeps pushing you further away.
I am not judging you,I understand that you don't know why this is happening even though you may not have had any dramatic event or bad happenings.
But yet, you have been shrinking and almost invisible.
Not physically just emotionally
You have leant not to need too much.
Not to ask for attention.
Not to take up space with your feelings.
That’s what childhood emotional neglect does to you.
It doesn’t shout,It whispers quietly but fierce.
It teaches a girl child that emotions are inconvenient.
That being quiet is safer than being expressive.
That love is something you earn by not being a burden.
So you grow into an adult who is capable, helpful, and self-sufficient but deeply unfamiliar with being held emotionally.
You become the one who listens.
The one who understands.
The one who adjusts and somewhere along the way, you forgot that you’re allowed to be seen too.
The invisible child did stop existing.
She just learnt to hide inside competence, over-functioning and a strength that never rests.
Real healing begins when you stop blaming yourself for feeling empty and start recognizing what is missing.
If this feels familiar, you’re not imagining it. Your feelings make sense.
Your body remembers what words were never given.
You’re allowed to take up space now.
Slowly.
Gently.
In your own time.
And I am here to help you.
Pause. Reflect. Save this.
