turing-tested:

close your eyes, just for a moment, and imagine how you felt when you had been hurt. not the scenario, because this is about keeping you safe. now imagine, what you needed in that instance. imagine who you needed. 

become that person. become the person your younger self needed, be as kind, as strong as you want. you can never go back in time, but that hurt person you were is still there, and they still need you.
