We've all heard that to find ourselevs we must go back to the beginning. In this case, that beginning is the inner child. The inner child is the foundation of our authentic selves, but due to heavy programming and external reward systems, we've neglected the very essence that is us. Instead, to get through the mundane and unfulfilling, we work for the weekend and drink our days away all to buy things we don't need to impress people we don't like. Nurturing the inner child brings us back home and for many, it saves us.
