Your heart will go out to her. You will feel compassion and a sense of wanting to protect her.
Do just that, in your mind take her in your arms as a mother would her child and give her the neutering she never had. Give her a warm bubble bath, bandage her wounds, brush the tangles from her hair and dress her in the prettiest dress you can find. |
That sounds sweet. Thanks. :) . Hmm, pretty dresses are inefficient in that they lessen the ability to move around well — pajamas are superior in that benefit. That, or I get to imagine being naked except for my socks while sleeping in my bed —
I’ll imagine my child self’s reaction to one of her greatest pleadings toward certain rules in the house. In your face, MOM! I can run free without pants!
Hmm, I think my inner child is now trying to cheer herself up by thinking of the pros and cons between house nakedness and clothes. Hmm . . . it’s a very difficult issue to think about.
I guess I’ll take a flower and imagine taking each petal. Pants? Without pants? Pants? Without pants? Eh — random number generators are more efficient than flowers because they have more varied numbers, and you can’t be biased to pick a specific flower with a very obvious number of petals to make a specific choice. Also, it would be less harmful to the Earth.
I should do this inner child thing more often. Hahahaha.
