This really touched me, Aradhana. The way you connect childhood fears to the ones that follow us into adulthood is so gentle and wise. Almost like you’re speaking to your past self with kindness instead of mockery. Very beautifully written! <3

Reminded me so much of yhe things we were told growing like tje whole 'eating a seed would make a plant grow in your belly' and all weird childhood fears and regimens are so real. For the longest time I believed it was just me but this is such a comforting validation lol.

Really lovely read ❤️

Really appreciate you stopping by! ❤️ I’m guessing this childhood nuerosis plagued quite a few of us

Very beautifully written and I wasn't sure this was heading till the second last paragraph, which felt like a warm eureka moment, something so obvious but needing constant reminder, a reminder pacakged so beautifully through this post!
