Thank you for bringing this forth and into consciousness. We do tend to lose ourselves for the sake of not being rejected, abandoned. In my case, it is out of fear of making others angry. The child within still feels scared of other people's anger. I am working on building safety within me so that I can be myself without fear. It's a journey of reclaiming long-lost parts of yourself, and creating safety within to stand your ground.

Thank you for opening this conversation with your piece. 🙏

Absolutely love your essay and I can relate to many of your words. I will save it, so I can re-read it from time to time as a reminder.
