Room to move

Sometimes another person’s story
opens a room within ourselves.

This text arose
after watching a documentary.

Room to Move
A different context.
A different family constellation.
Different character formations.

And yet it touches
the same principle:
the inner child
that somewhere along the way
remained unseen.

Not always through lack of love.
Sometimes through incapacity.
Sometimes through circumstances.
Sometimes because a family itself
did not know how presence
was truly meant to be felt.

What is not seen in the child
does not simply disappear.
Later, it searches for a form.

In contact.
In distance.
In longing.
In the difficulty of landing
within oneself
or with another.

That does not make
every experience identical.
Each story carries its own holding.

But the recognition
lives in the layer beneath:
a child
that once needed space
and did not know
where it was allowed to find it.

At the same time, I notice
how exhausting it can be
to keep moving
within a world like today’s.

For a highly sensitive
and highly aware nervous system,
presence is not self-evident.

So much often has to be processed
all at once.

Stimuli.
Undercurrents.
Voices.
Expectations.
Unspoken tensions.

As if the inner wiring
must constantly work harder
to keep the whole in balance.

And perhaps that is precisely why
space becomes so essential.

Not as a luxury.
But as a condition for life.

Room to move.
Space to breathe.
Space to feel.
Space, at last,
to no longer have to function
against yourself.
