Each of us has purity deep within. It is our essence. Think of a baby - they have no issues and no corruption of their purity. Their essence extends beyond them, blessing all who are in their presence.
The degree to which we are able to preserve our purity depends upon our upbringing, and then, our level of emotional and physical self-care.
I was blessed to have a healthy and loving family. As a young teenager I fell in love - He was the first person I allowed to contaminate my innocence - in more ways than one:) This relationship lasted until I was a young adult and the toxic patterns continued in other relationships.
The purification of my essence involved constructing huge walls around my self, my feelings, and most of all my wounds. After a significant amount of time I was able to slowly let these walls down.
The only reason I can remain open is because I have learned to take care of myself, trust myself and set appropriate emotional and physical boundaries. I let people in to the degree that they themselves are healthy and respectful. This allows me to love everyone and not worry about whether or not they are trustworthy. It is me who I trust.
Wounds need protection to heal. Innocence and purity is our birthright and sometimes we need to retreat and allow our wounds to heal before we can open up and bless the world as babies do.

I feel like you are talking to me. I need to be singularly focused on taking care of myself...of constructing these walls...and taking care regarding who I let in. I am printing this out and posting it to help me stay focused.
Thank you.

I really felt the truth of this. The trick is to be able to deconstruct the walls, which tend to feel permanently erected, realizing that no one can hurt or influence you if you are taking care of yourself.
Excellent. I love this Kim. THANKFULLY I am getting more fluent in the "language of self care" and it makes more and more sense to me everyday. Thank you for sharing and for all your help.
much love,

I don’t remember exactly when my innocence, purity, inner child (whatever you want to call it) was first corrupted. I do know that I am now on a path of rediscovery (rebirth). The light with inside me has never gone out; it has just been continually covered with debris filtering its true brightness.
I am learning that removing this debris is difficult, painful and that I can not do it alone. Just as I had help filling myself with this debris I need the help of others, especially God, in removing it.
It will be a lifetime journey, but I am committed to removing the filters that are blocking my brightness. You are an inspiration.
God is everywhere and everything,
Kevin
