I just want to let you know how beautiful your words are and how deeply they touched me. You are a beautiful soul and it's truly an honor to have the opportunity to read your articles. Your words inspired an "aha" moment for me that I have been struggling my whole life. Today I realized that for 21 years I have been that same scared 5 year old kid that plays in the sandbox all alone, because of many fears. I realize that every experience that I have robbed myself of has been dictated by that scared 5 year old and that 5 year old has refused to come out of the sandbox to play with others. I have been stuck and for over 20 years I have created many beautiful things, but refused to share them for the fear of rejection and hurt. Well today I tell that 5 year old that I am with her, that I love her more than anything and anyone and that I accept her with all her imperfections. I tell her that I understand and I recognize her external and internal battles and that I forgive her, I forgive her for keeping me from experiencing the world, because the world has seemed like a really scary place. I tell her that I will love her the way she has never been loved. I tell her that we can come out of that box together and we don't have to leap out or run we can take small steps. We can take the smallest steps possible, as long as we come out of the sandbox. I tell her that I love her no matter what, she can do no harm and I know how amazing and beautiful she is. Although she has imprisoned me in that box I cannot be mad at her, because she has taught me so much in that sandbox. She has tried hard, very hard to fix things in the sandbox, to create her own rules and her own world, however she hasn't recognize that the sandbox is perfect as is and that she just needs to learn to let go and "throw herself out into the open". I tell her the world might seem scary, however it's better to be scared than hopeless. I tell her that yes life is scary and kids will be rough and sometimes mean, however there are so many others that are great and so many others that understand why she has been in the box playing all alone for so long.<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
