Dear Present Reality,

I’m writing to inform you that I, your Higher Self, am now officially representing and acting on behalf of my client—your Inner Child—with full commitment to her best interests.

Due to your previous stubbornness, I’ve taken the liberty of drafting a unified message using both hemispheres of your brain to ensure minimal resistance from your outdated (and now, quite frankly, irrelevant) neural pathways.

Regular and bolded text has been channeled through the creative brain, right hemisphere.

Italicized text has been reinforced by the ever-so-logical brain, left side.

Without further ado, welcome to, well, you.

My Inner Child resigns

from the whispers of the past in my mind.

The girl with holes in her shoes

now sees her power to choose.

As stated in Clause 1 of my client’s manifesto, she acknowledges that a faint voice of lack still echoes, telling her what she can and cannot do, and worse, trying to convince her that I, her Higher Self, am also bound by limitation. (Don't make me laugh.)

Let it be known: though she was once surrounded by scarcity, she is no longer defined by it. As her new representative, I confirm that she has been officially awarded the liberty of conscious choice within her present reality.

Please ensure this power is activated in every cell of her body—immediately.

My Inner Child resigns

from judging the reflection in the mirror,

by seats on the school busses and cafeteria

My client understands and thanks you for trying to protect her by holding onto memories of sideways glances and childhood rejection. However, upon a very thorough review, these mental files have been proven to be outdated.

She is no longer “that kid” no one sat beside.

For your convenience, I’ve merged new memories—ones where she is seen, welcomed, and most importantly, accepted by herself. Kindly update the evidence bank accordingly.

My Inner Child resigns

from being feared into silence,

and shamed into alliance.

Thanks to the progress of 2025, my client is now entitled to a full independence grant—complete with authentic voice, boundaries, and vibrational discernment.

She will no longer dim herself to appease others.

Under new Abundance Guidelines Section 101, known informally as “Thy tribe is thy vibe,” she is no longer accepting the bare minimum in relationships.

She has full authority to choose her environments and the energies within them. Adjust the energetic filters accordingly.

My Inner Child resigns

from arriving at the party empty-handed,

or giving up simply because you demanded.

My Inner Child resigns

from never having the means—or the care—

To attend field trips, snack days, or book fairs.

She hereby releases the identity of the one who always felt left out, shaped by the belief that money would always leave or simply was never around.

According to the newly ratified Universal Law Clause: “The more you give, the more you receive,” she now feels worthy of receiving joy, rest, support, and beautiful things—including, but not limited to, vacations, hotels, and a home that feels like abundance.

She has signed on the universal dotted line. Please see that these visuals be moved from her head to her hands at once.

My Inner Child resigns

from allowing society to define her value—

what will be allowed is what I’ll allow you.

My Inner Child resigns

from the fear that nothing will ever work out,

Because she’s just poor trash,

and that’s all she’ll ever be.

My Inner Child resigns

from that identity

Because that child now belongs to me.

Yes, I resign from who I used to be.

Therefore,

I am free.

Lastly, my client has officially stepped into her power to define her own embodiment.

She is no longer tethered to the identity that ultimately imprisoned her.

I, the Higher Self, have been granted full ownership over neural connections, manifestations, and all things aligned with the soul’s expansion.

Thank you for your understanding.

And—you’re welcome.

With liberation,

Higher Self a.k.a. The Truth
