Dear Wisdom:

As a child you were made to feel like a pawn, a nuisance, not important… you were neglected, not attended to… not important in the family you were born into. So you figured you were those things, not important, that it was the reason you were treated as not important. That was the message you were given and that is the message you accepted, as all children accept, without question, the messages they receive.

It takes a process of healing from that kind of message, healing from that kind of injury. Because you were born and you were an important, valuable child, a loving and lovable child and you were treated as if you were not these things. That is the injury.

Truth is, you are still as always important, valuable, loving and lovable right this moment, and every moment no matter how differently you feel. Wisdom, your user name, is about becoming aware of this, becoming aware that you already have all that you wish you had.

How do you feel about what I wrote here?
