🌞 Summer Solstice: Free Your Inner Child 🌞
And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
— Anaïs Nin
The longest day of the year is here — the Summer Solstice — and with it arrives a cosmic invitation to come home to yourself. June, in all her golden glory, brings the warmth of the sun, the freedom of the season, and a sacred opportunity to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
This season whispers: Free your inner child.
Remember to Play Again
When was the last time you let yourself play — really play — without guilt, without agenda, just for the joy of it?
Summer season carries the spirit of curiosity and exploration. It invites us to loosen our grip, be a little less rigid, and a little freer. To laugh without checking who’s watching. To dance in the kitchen. To scribble in a notebook with no intention of sharing it. To feel, fully.
As children, we lived in stories. I remember mine clearly. I’ve recently discovered Audible and it’s been like a portal back to my favorite memories — sitting cross-legged in my grade 3/4 split class, listening to our teacher read Charlotte’s Web, The Hobbit, or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. That magical sense of being transported... no pressure to decode words, just the joy of being wrapped in a story. Time flew, and the world made sense.
That little girl still lives inside me. Inside you. She’s waiting for you to stop surviving and start living again.
Vibrate Higher
This solstice is more than just a turn of the earth — it's a call to rise.
Let go of what weighs you down:
🔹 Fear of survival
🔹 Shame of the past
🔹 Limiting beliefs
🔹 Judgment of self or others
🔹 Feelings of unworthiness
These are not truths — they are inherited wounds, echoes of other people’s pain. Every time you choose to live your truth, you free an ancestor who had to hide theirs. You don’t just heal yourself. You untangle generations.
So take a breath. A deep one.
Right here, right now.
Let go of what was. Stop fearing what might be.
This moment is yours. Fully.
Love Should Feel Like Peace
The people we choose are mirrors. Sometimes, they're funhouse mirrors — warped reflections of wounds we haven’t healed.
I’ve come to understand that some of the patterns I repeat aren’t mine. They started when I was too young to even understand what a “dynamic” was. Growing up around someone who was cold, dismissive, emotionally volatile — someone who drank too much, worked too hard, judged too quickly — taught me to tiptoe. To please. To be small enough not to cause trouble.
And so I tolerated what I shouldn’t.
I mistook anxiety for attraction.
I confused intensity for intimacy.
But love… real love… shouldn’t feel like a storm. It should feel like calm in a chaotic world. Choose someone who feels like peace, not confusion. Choose someone you don’t have to perform for. Someone you don’t have to fix. Love should steady you.
Break the Cycle
If you’ve ever found yourself minimizing red flags, brushing off small slights, staying silent because you’re scared they’ll leave — know this: You are not alone. And you are not broken.
Codependency often begins in childhood, when we were taught — directly or subtly — that our needs didn’t matter. That love had to be earned through sacrifice, silence, or perfection.
But that was then. This is now.
You do not need to stay in spaces that drain you — emotionally, mentally, spiritually. You do not need to wait for people to change. You don’t owe anyone your peace in exchange for their chaos.
You have the right to speak up. To set boundaries. To walk away.
If your internal alarm is going off — don’t hit snooze. Intuition is your soul’s GPS. Trust it.
The Solstice Is Your Turning Point
The sun stands still on this day, offering a moment of pause — and choice. You can continue carrying the past like armor, or you can lay it down and let the light in.
Free your inner child.
Give her what she didn’t get:
✨ Gentle presence
✨ Unconditional love
✨ Permission to feel
✨ Safety to express
✨ Room to grow
Be the one who says, “You were always enough. And you still are.”
So take this solstice as your cue to return to joy. To take up space. To listen to a good story. To write a new one. And to finally believe that you deserve all the light that’s finding you now.
You’ve come so far.
