When Little Faith Came Back🥺
<p><strong>"The Child We Left Behind"😶</strong></p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Want to play? 🤗</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Adunni.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Chuckles 🙈 That's what my mum calls me.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I know.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Does she still call you that?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Hmm, rarely.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: I'm glad you're here.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Me too.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: You look stressed. Are you weak?</strong></span></p><p><strong>Big Faith: Chuckles No.</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Seems you're messing things up.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Still working on me.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Why don't you play anymore?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I had to grow up.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: You didn't grow up. You grew away.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Hmm. 🙂</strong></span></p><p><strong>Little Faith: It's okay. I think about you often.</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I dream about you every day.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Would you love to go back to being me?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Definitely no. Or maybe yes.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Be clear. 🤓</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I don't want to be you. I don't want to relive you, but I want the innocent part of you. 😔</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Are you living our dream? We filled notebooks, stained papers, and bled ink. Are we still doing that now?</strong></span></p><p><strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">Big Faith: Yes, we are. 😌</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"></span></strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Proud of you, Biggy. You're living our dream.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Smiles.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: The marks still there?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: What marks?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: The same ones.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Oh, yes. They are.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Still hiding them or embracing them now? What do people say about them?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I'm finding it hard to embrace them. People always want a story behind them. They think we got the marks through stealing.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Told you. People judge with no reason.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>You erased all three of them.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Why? When? Did I ever say why?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: You told me, "Not all scars need to remind you where you're coming from. Erase them if necessary."</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Wow. 😕</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Built a good relationship with Sis now?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I think we outgrew the process of growing together. We fight a lot.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: I guess the distance shaped it all.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: You were smart. Been learning anything lately?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: A lot. But one thing stood out to me. It's not your fault that something hurt you. It's your responsibility to heal from it.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: You're baiting me. 🙄😏</strong></span></p><p><strong>Little Faith:😅</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Has it been easy?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Nope. Been losing friends.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: How's conversation with Mum like?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Void. I don't want it. It's going to make her worry, and she's fighting a lot already.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: What's the stupidest thing we ever said when we were younger?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: "I can't wait to grow up."</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: 😂 Why?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Because growth hurts.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Do we still do love, love, love?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Yes, we still love. Just not love, love, love.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: No? What went wrong? I thought we had that under our fingers.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: I don't know. We don't feel things on a deeper level anymore.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Still scared of the dark?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Nope. We embrace the dark now. 😊</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Because of the stars?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Yes. 🤭</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Did we get bigger?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: We stopped growing. We still look fifteen. 😂</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: People laugh?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Oh, that's an understatement. They make jest of us.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Met Dad?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Nope.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Have we learn to forgive him?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Oh, Yes!😊</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong><br/></strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Guess what?</strong></span></p><p><strong>Big Faith: What?</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: I met God recently.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Really? 😲 What did He say?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: He pulled out a mirror and told me there was one more person He wanted me to forgive. Guess who it was?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Who?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: You.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Me? How? What? I don't get it.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: I'm mad at you. I've been mad at you and I'll remain mad at you until you figure it all out. Love. Choosing. Letting go.</strong></span></p><p><strong>You're keeping me stagnant. Let go. Move. Heal. I know it's hard, but stay open to growth and stop pushing people away. You're ruining us. ☹️😢😭</strong></p><p><strong>Forgive fully. They all live once, after all. You keep losing people who ought to be your best. You're killing me, you're killing us, and if you're not careful, you'll kill our future too. </strong></p><p><strong>Grow up!</strong></p><p><strong>I only want to hurt on my knees, elbows, and forehead. Not on my heart.</strong></p><p><strong>The burden has been building up.</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: 😢😧🙁 Forgive me.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Until you learn to figure us out, I won't forgive you.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Will you come back?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Of course. I'll be back.</strong></span></p><p><strong>Big Faith: When?</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Like a thief in the night.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: You know how hard you're making this for me. Now you're seeking love, our teenage self wants revenge, and all I want is peace. How am I supposed to figure it all out?</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Figure us out, or Forget us.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Alright then. You were always the careful one, the smart one, the innocent one. Leave me with three things.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Alright then.</strong></span></p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><strong>i. If you think the price of letting go is high, wait until you get the bill of regret. That bill is generational.</strong></p><p><strong>ii. I know you cannot control what is happening, but I need you to control how you respond to it.</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>iii. Seek peace and pursue it. The battles you do not fight today may become the battles our children have to fight tomorrow.</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Big Faith: Not my kids!</strong></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Little Faith: Then fix us!</strong></span></p><p><strong>Bye, Biggy.</strong></p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><strong>Big Faith: Wait! 😖😭😭😞😟</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>And poof, she was gone.</strong></span></p><p><strong><br/></strong></p><p><strong>What will I leave with you?</strong></p><p><strong>Be replaceable in presence and irreplaceable in essence.</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong><br/></strong></span></p><p><strong><span style="background-color: transparent;">P</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">lease, heal.🥺</span></strong></p>
