SORRY

Dear Soul,

We are still tied. Unfortunately, I cannot rewrite history to untie us. For this reason I am stepping back into our memories as my healthy adult mode to stop the pain. I am taking a seat next to you. Hold my hand. Look at me. Listen: I see you. My intention was to take care of us. I protected us with mean, furious, destructive, avoidant, distrustful, validation seeking, submissive, arrogant, apathetic, distant and disconnected behaviour. I need to take accountability by apologizing for the effects of my behaviour. Sorry. My behaviour was unacceptable and unfair. My behaviour was not your fault. You didn’t have to be perfect. You didn’t deserve to be punished. It is time to stop this unhealthy bond and to untie ourselves. Let’s leave these memories and be free. You are safe. I care about you unconditionally. I appreciate your efforts to protect us and your intention to take care of us. You worked hard. I need to thank you for these gifts, the gift of your presence and the gift of our beautiful memories. Thank you. I wish you a life filled with love, support and safety.

Take care.

Much love,

Loreen
