I think that "the kid" isn't just a real child, but the one within. Many times we think we are okay now because we already passed that chapter, but we know that we couldn't change anything, we were not the reason why bad things happened, but once someone told me "Okay, you understand that, but does your young self?" And I started crying a lot because I understood a lot about myself that day. Now I imagine the trauma as that little kid, I realized I needed to heal that child, and that together with the idea of "You're the kind of adult you needed when you were a child" just Made sense to a lot of things. I hope you can shine your brightest in life
