We’re often told to look back.
To speak gently to the child we once were.
To remind them they were always enough.
And that matters.
But healing also means looking forward.
Because there’s someone waiting for you.
Five years from now. Maybe ten.
They carry the softness you’ve earned,
the clarity you’re building,
the peace you haven’t met yet.
And sometimes, it’s their voice you need to hear.
“Take care of that heart.
Move your body like it’s something sacred.
Rest when you forget how.
Laugh, even when it surprises you.
Say no to protect your peace.
Say yes to what brings you back to life.
I need you to get here.”
So comfort the version of you that came before.
But don’t forget to listen for the one you’re becoming.
They’re wiser than you know—and they’re rooting for you.
