I am impressed by the film directed by Jan Samuel “Big Little Me”. He inspired me a lot and once again encouraged me to turn to myself and listen to what my heart is telling me. This film allowed us to think about how important it is to be who we are! How symbolic in the film a little seven-year-old girl asks her friend to bury her “treasures” when difficulties begin in the family. Sometimes circumstances force us to forget who we once were. I really love writing about my childhood memories. It has become a real hobby! And when the memory is completed, I proudly feel like an archaeologist who dug up something very precious. Childhood memories are my treasure! Sometimes when I open the chest of the past, I find the real me. I really liked the phrase my psychologist once said, it resonated very much in my heart. The psychologist told me that if we are 25, then we are also 24, and 23... and 10, and 7, and one... We are like nesting dolls folded into each other. Every year another one appears. Or, if you imagine a tree, then we are a tree in which every year one more ring appears. These rings or nesting dolls are inside us. They are in our dreams and don’t go anywhere – this is our experience. So, if something bothered us in childhood, for example, at 7 years old, and we forgot about it, it will bother us when we are 30 and 50. Why? So because we are 7 too... I think that the anxiety of a 7-year-old child will make itself felt when we make some choices. Perhaps avoiding what may remind us of pain... this is the influence of our past. It is important to integrate this experience within yourself. And not to brush it aside. Every time I turn to my memories, to my past, I always ask myself the question: I am ten. What am I? what I love, how I see the world... I always very clearly remembered myself at five years old (Not the brightest time for me, it forced, to some extent, to keep my eyes open and my ears on top of my head), but I did not remember myself at all at 11 …. 15. This fact surprised me for a long time. I think that I apparently hid that experience, that treasure, very deeply. And for my survival it was important and necessary. Previously, treasures were hidden, as a rule, not in the most peaceful times, in order to find them later and dig them up when it was safe. Some discover their treasures only when they reach a certain age. There was no time before. And there both time and age-related tasks are conducive to this. But is it possible to reverse things? Change something? Is it safe? I don’t want to give false hope, but it’s really very difficult. To be in harmony with yourself, it is important to be able to simultaneously be in the past, in the present and in the future. Some are stuck on the past, some are focused on the future, forgetting about everything that happened since yesterday, and some live only for today... there are reasons for everything. I don’t know whether this is good or bad, but “delayed life syndrome” is what it’s all about. The time perspective is different at every age. For example, when we are little, we dream more about what we will have in the future. We are little in the past, a lot in the present and even more in the future. And this is normal, because we have very little past. And when we are already at a respectable age, it is normal to think more about the past, and little about the future, and certainly be in the present. Simply because we already have a lot of past, and we have already formed our future. Never forget about your present self, about your little self and do not forget to be who you are! The past, no matter how difficult, heavy and sad it is, or vice versa, is always about experience, and where there is experience, there is wisdom! Whether this experience will become a stick in our wheel of life or combustible fuel is up to us to decide!
