The other day, I was really sad when thinking about when I was angry at my younger self. For God sake, she was only a child! I was only little. I don't need yet another person to judge me, so I created this comic instead.

If this is you...

• "I should have done more"
• "I could have been different"
• "If I only...?"
• "I'm worth less than others because (insert reason here)!"

Just know you're VALID to feel, but you're also ALLOWED to move on and find better solutions. If it's something I've learned it's that two things can be true at the same time. You can feel not enough, but still be enough!

I deserved another childhood, but I still got what I got. Both things can be valid at the same time.

When you've spent time with your emotions without judging them, then you will naturally feel when it's time to move on. Just know that you're not just ruminating or "feel sorry for yourself", you have self-compassion. That's different!

I've learned so much these last years. One friend said to me just yesterday that "my world doesn't collapse all the time anymore" and "that I've grown so much". She had tears in her eyes when saying that. And I agree with her. I don't see the world ending as easily any longer. Even though I go through intense emotions just like all of us on this planet.

You are valid, right here and right now.
