Having lots of gorgeous chats about growth, healing and mental health of late which have been very affirming. I keep saying I’m entering my soft girl era and I genuinely mean it. When you’ve grown up in certain areas, in certain households with people who have also had those same experiences you don’t grow up with that softness. I don’t know if some people lose it or never had it to begin with but either way we need to unlearn that defensive position, that fight or flight mode. The last year I have spent a lot of time just walking away not arguing, not screaming, crying or shouting just removing myself and not giving anymore of myself over. I’m naturally so soft and I’m ready to release the armour I’ve built up of the years because I’m not fighting anymore I’m simply having my boundaries and if they not respected I will simply remove myself. Working with young people from working class London background the same as myself has also given me the privilege to be introspective of my own upbringing and the kind of example I want to be for them and who I needed back then. The softer I am with myself the more I heal and the more I heal the deeper my connections become with myself and others ✨💕 #healing #softgirlera #cptsd #readheadsofinstagram #tomboy
