I believe everyone has their own childhood trauma, but each to varying degrees. These are our formative years which serve as a future protective mechanism towards correcting social behaviors, such as our own parenting or interactions with loved ones. Everyone is secretly trying to heal their childhood trauma or abuse by seeking external solutions, but we need to find those within.

Often times we believe that we do not deserve praise because we live in a constant state of comparison in this world and forget that our own small achievements and goals are also worth celebrating. A fulfilling life genuinely is about appreciating the small moments alongside the big ones too.
