Inner Child Jealousy
webcomic text:
Panel 1:
Flower hair: “Hey, I’m here. I brought snacks. Are you sad? What’s going on?”
Heart hair: “I want to be happy for her, but I’m jealous. And I’m ashamed that I feel jealous.”
Panel 2:
Flower hair: “Jealousy isn’t shameful. It’s your inner child trying desperately to keep you safe.”
Heart hair: “Then it’s confused; there is no danger.”
Flower hair: “Of course it’s confused. It’s a child trying to handle an adult’s loss and pain.”
