honestly relatable. we way we have been raised as a child carries through adulthood. we just have to figure out ways to cope with them better. 🥲🤍

This is true, I’m still dissecting my childhood traumas especially as I’m home for the summer. I keep my inner child close, which often means those coping strategies come back too

I’m actually in the same boat rn too honestly. i play minecraft, watch old cartoon shows, and other nostalgic things that bring my inner child joy. that’s honestly not a shameful thing going into the adult world, but i know what you mean. i just think it’s a really hard time also for people in their 20s because technically they are adults but don’t have life sorted out yet. i think it’s a common feeling. but it can be hard when being at home brings back those memories
