This post appeared on my news and I beleive it is such an important message but for some reason I was not able to share it.... Apologize I will copy here... please find bellow:
''We spend much of our lives trying to become who we think we should be, without realising how much of that self was shaped by what we needed to survive. The caretaker, the achiever, the one who never complains these are not who we truly are, but who we became to feel safe. Those patterns once protected us, yet in adulthood, they often keep us trapped in the same emotional cages we built as children.

Every unhealed wound from childhood waits patiently for recognition. Pain that is not faced does not vanish; it buries itself in our nervous system and whispers through our reactions. The same fear that once protected us from rejection becomes the wall that keeps love out. The anger that once defended our innocence becomes the shield that blocks intimacy. The child who learned to stay quiet still lives inside, waiting for permission to speak.
Those inner demons are not monsters to destroy. They are fragments of our own pain asking to be met with compassion. When we ignore them, they find their voice in our words, our choices, and our relationships. Without awareness, they shape how we love, how we parent, how we respond to vulnerability. The cycle continues, quietly, unconsciously.
Healing begins when we stop running from our own story. Meeting our pain with honesty allows us to become the adult our younger self needed. The more tenderness we bring to our inner wounds, the less power they hold.
Every generation faces a choice: to pass on its pain, or to transform it.
Facing our darkness is not about perfection; it is about liberation. When we make peace with our inner demons, they no longer raise the world around us. They finally rest, and so do we.
True love for self and others is born from that awareness.
