Kassandra Clementi Instagram – I used to think “I just want my kids to be happy” but over the past couple of years I’ve realized, “I just want them to be able to feel their feelings”.
To process their emotions with openness and without fear. To let pain envelop them so they can embrace what hurts, deeply enough that it can be processed through their system without suppression. To let joy make them feel like their feet are lifting off the ground without the worry of how it will feel when they touch back down.
To not fear the lows or beg the highs to stay. To accept what is in front of them, challenge what needs to change with grace and passion, and to come and lay their heads on my chest when it all feels too big; so I can be their calm and safety until they’re ready to give it back to themselves .
These beautiful new people have taught me that happiness isn’t always the answer, rather the emotional freedom to meet themselves with tenderness, curiosity and security, exactly where they are, so they never need to be afraid of themselves. | Posted on 07/Sep/2025 15:37:02
