Dear Adina,

I just discovered your Substack and felt compelled to connect. Your topic resonates deeply with me, as it's the same focus I’ve taken in my own writing. I’m exploring the long-term impacts of childhood trauma, giving a voice to the inner child, and raising awareness about taboo subjects like narcissistic abuse.

Childhood trauma has such far-reaching effects, often wrapping itself around our adult lives and creating chaos in ways many don’t realize.

I could be mistaken, but your name and the subject of your writing make me wonder—are you by any chance Romanian? If so, it’s wonderful to meet someone who shares both a cultural and thematic connection.

Draga mea! Sint incintata! Vezi tu subiectele pe care le abordam sint de nisa, most of the time surrounded by veils of silence and for us rivers of unexpressed emotions and pain. Coming across similar experiences helps somehow the process of personal healing providing bits of validation we so much need. I am smiling now … thank you for your compliment regarding my creative endeavours … compliments oh Lord we have so many issues around them as you very well mentioned in one of your blogs!

So powerful and honest. There is a rawness to your writing that resonates with those who read it. I am also on a journey as you described of checking in to new areas of self-expression and experimentation. While I am not a survivor or experiencer or childhood trauma, your writing still drew me in. I send you much love and peace this year.
