Small self, my love, I have chosen by default for so long things that were not in your heart. I heard you grieve, but I felt like I had to do things just to be okay. The reality is, I was never okay, even though I was told doing these things would change us.
As I invite in compassion, let me speak to you plainly. You were never wrong. You were never small. You held the space in my heart for the day when I would choose to walk back in. You protested every time something wasn’t aligned with my heart in order to help us.
Small self, I know you have been hearing the same things for so long- the things I took in from others about how to be and what to do. I honestly didn’t realize I still spoke to us like my parents or teachers, in a way that demanded obedience instead of expression and freedom.
Small self, I hear you now. Your heart’s desires and your dreams are now coming to life. I dismiss all I learned and choose to unlearn anything that was not in service of you, heart, life and all. I choose to act from here now. Small self, we are now one.
Now I will act from my whole self and stay aligned. I won’t do things to the standards of others while the small self suffers. I may have a weird way of flowing in this world, but it is my pattern, my whole being that expresses now.
My small self now expands into all of me as I become free to be. In this way, I am not only here for me but I set an example of authenticity to others. With my small self included, and with compassion on board, I am whole.
