It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.

My inner child is not wounded.

I no longer knew whether it was raindrops or my own tears that were flowing down my cheeks, and I hated to have to drag along this relic of a sniveling child.

We are all children that need nurturing, love and care. So give your inner child that nurturing and love, give yourself back the joy of preparing healthy and nutritious meals, joy of experiencing food without TV, reading, working, rush.

After a while the middle-aged person who lives in her head begins to talk to her soul, the kid.

The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.
