Being small

from Aarva Hosted by Tom Wooldridge

How do you stop living out the unresolved childhood of the person who raised you? We all carry the internal grammar of our childhoods, those quiet scripts about power and worth that we wrote when we were small and someone else was very big. This essay explores why we don't truly recover from being children, but rather grow into the structures we built to survive our earliest relationships. It’s a profound look at how we project our unresolved ghosts onto others—and how we might eventually learn to become the kind of big people who can hold space for our own vulnerabilities without needing to dominate anyone else.
