when guys are good with kids and have muscles and wear sweatpants and wear their hat backwards and call you princess and text you goodnight and give you nicknames and listen to you and make you feel safe and can have deep moments with you and play with your hair and that stare they give you before they kiss you asdghdklalfhslhalfhsk bYE

Picture yourself when you were five. In fact, dig out a photo of little you at that time and tape it to your mirror. How would you treat her, love her, feed her? How would you nurture her if you were the mother of little you? I bet you would protect her fiercely while giving her space to spread her itty-bitty wings. She’d get naps, healthy food, imagination time, and adventures into the wild. If playground bullies hurt her feelings, you’d hug her tears away and give her perspective. When tantrums or meltdowns turned her into a poltergeist, you’d demand a loving time-out in the naughty chair. From this day forward I want you to extend that same compassion to your adult self.
