Awwwww Salinda this made me cry. Your message to yourself just... my heart! Talking about and healing your inner child/teen is such important work and I'm so proud of you for the progress you've made.

I'm a teen currently and finding your channel has helped me with life so much. Thank you for being so open about your experiences I'm sure many other teenagers have different experiences but we can all surely relate to yours. It's wonderful knowing there is always someone there who is kind and willing to help you. Healing is the way to go! Bless your sweet soul :)

Have the happiest birthday as you reflect on your teenage self. It’s amazing how time can either heal or simply cover old wounds. Remember that everything that we have experienced in life has made us who we are today. Your teenage self has blossomed into a darling 30 year old.

Thank you so much for allowing us to join you on this part of your healing journey, I know there is a lot more that goes on internally and off camera that cannot be captured but this rawness helps me feel less alone. Even if we felt lonely at the time, our inner teens can unite in solidarity now knowing we all felt similar things and had shared experiences. I'm currently enjoying the inner child part of the journey and my box of journals, notes, art, and music from teenhood needs some loving attention too. Happy healing 💛💛

I think it's so cute you have a bag of old notes. I also have a box back in California, mostly of notes from my best friend in middle school and high school, who sadly passed away about 5 years ago. There is so much mixed emotions when reading these old notes. But I think it's nice to have something tangible from our past.

I was a teen during the late nineties and early 2000’s. I have blocked the majority of my old self, I don’t recognise her, but, lately I’ve found myself listening to my teen music too, I’ve been drawn to my “old” fashion sense a little more and I’m definitely noticing her pop up mentally too. I think I need to reflect and give myself time to address her and let her be heard. :) This must have been a hard process for you, I appreciate you sharing it. X

I totally know what you mean. When teen me started to demand attention I was really resistant to it. I felt 'this is NOT me, she has all this trauma, I have moved past this and don't want to look at it' but moving past it isn't the same thing as working through it and I'm so glad to start that journey, even if it's tough. I'm sending you and your teen self lots of love and strength!

What a beautiful and inspiring reflection. It made me tear up. 😭 I was into the same scene and sort of style and music in the mid 2000’s. All that music makes me so nostalgic. After I had my first child, I just went through a phase where I listened to the band The postal service all day and would cry. For some reason that age is where I went when I went through some hard times. I think because I wanted to go back to a time where I wasn’t caring for anyone else but me. I think teenage me would be proud of where I am now. I think teenage me wishes I had more tattoos though. 😂

Awww. Momma hugs to you. 😭 I wish every teen (and child) knew they were enough just the way they are. It's a tough lesson to learn, some learn early and in reflection, some don't learn until they are in there 60's and some never learn. It's hard. You always gave the impression of someone who had it all together and I'm sure that was something others aspired to be. It really goes to the saying that you never know what others are going through. We love you and are proud of you for exactly who you are❣️😍 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥂

@@SalindaNichols we were talking about how all humans put on a good front. Telling teens, "it will get better" just doesn't work they are too deep into it to believe an adult. The key is to feel safe enough to talk about your feelings and asking for help❣️😘😘

Definitely resonated with this one. Thanks for being vulnerable with us. It's a great reminder to reflect on how far we've come and to be gentle with the person we were and still are. I feel like I'm struggling with anxiety and depression more now than when I was a teen (but maybe I didn't recognize it for what it was then). I'm thankful that I have the resources at an older age to start seeking that help. Also I wanted to say I was always jealous of the scene girls. My mom never let me dye my strawberry blond hair so I could never commit to the whole look.
