I’ll hold you in the light as you share this. Sometimes when writing about my childhood trauma the dark can reach out a hand to grab me down under again.

Thank you. Yes, you put it perfectly. It really can feel like the past tries to pull us back under just as we begin to find our footing. I'm holding your hand right back, through the dark, and into the light we’re both learning to stay in. We’re not alone in this. πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ’›

This is such an amazing and powerful piece, my friend. You’ve found such a gentle, honest way to tell something deeply personal, and it’s already resonating so deeply. Writing Alice into the world like this, line by line, wound by wound, feels brave, beautiful, and so needed.

The space you’ve created here feels safe and sacred. And that final line, that this is for anyone healing from childhood trauma, it lands with such clarity and care. I’m so grateful you’re telling this story. I’ll be following every step of the way. πŸ’›β€οΈβ€οΈβ€πŸ©Ήβœ¨οΈ

What a beautiful structureβ€”letting past and present speak to each other. It honors how nonlinear healing really is.
