Some of you may have heard of Amy McDonald, Scottish singer/songwriter. Right now I relate to one of her songs called statues. The song speaks about youthful comforts
Song Chorus
All the children stand like statues
On the street where I was born
It’s a street where nothing changes
But the road where I come from
Now the cherry blossoms falling
And the nights are drawing in
Oh I’m standing here unfrozen
As the world goes 'round again
Every time i hear this song it reminds me how we never really move away from the inner child. And sometimes, if only we tapped into it, we might be better placed to heal
I have tons of them! But it took a long time for me to accept it and not shame myself for nurturing this part of me. My inner child and I have a lot to catch up, so it’s been an interesting shift to now embrace it rather than hide it.
Last thing to date for me are puzzles. I used to play a lot jigsaw puzzles and be overly obsessive with them as a child. Somehow I randomly re-discovered recently the joy and soothing effects it brings to my heart by playing it. Only downside effect is that now our dinner table is always occupied with my stuff lol.
