Let the Flowers Bloom

The presence of those tears reveals an undeniable truth: childhood experiences—whether tender or painful—leave indelible marks on the soul and continue to echo throughout a lifetime. As we grow, we inevitably encounter wounds that cannot be put into words. Those unseen or unacknowledged emotions often follow us into adulthood. Even when we raise our own “giant umbrella” and appear strong on the outside, the tears of our childhood self still find their way to the surface when touched.

Each of us carries within a child who has never been fully comforted. We need to learn to spend time with that child, to acknowledge their existence in a parallel space of memory, and to gently tell them: we have grown up, and now we can protect you. Only then can we truly reconcile with ourselves and face the future with a greater sense of wholeness.
