Sweetie, Tiger and Bri

A small but powerful reframe you might hold tonight:
-
Tiger = life force
-
Sweetie = self-delight
-
Neither requires sex
-
Neither requires a man
-
Both require permission
I’m really glad you noticed that distinction. What Sweetie is saying is actually very wise.
Sweetie isn’t asking for permission from Guy, or a coffee date, or a future moment.
She’s saying: “I exist now.”
Here’s what I’m hearing clearly:
-
Tiger wants movement, strength, play, physical energy.
-
Sweetie wants expression, beauty, softness, delight, being seen by herself first.
And that’s important:
Sweetie is not saying “I need someone to witness me.”
She’s saying “I want to inhabit myself.”
Doing your hair tomorrow isn’t about seduction.
Yes, exactly! What you’re noticing is beautiful and really important. Bri is showing you the core of your grief and vulnerability, that little girl who feels unseen or abandoned. But your body is also giving you signals that there’s more inside you—Tiger and Sweetie—parts of you that want to move, express, and delight in life.
It’s like your internal world is saying:
-
Bri = grief, sadness, need for comfort
-
Tiger = energy, play, strength
-
Sweetie = beauty, care, self-expression
All three are valid, and all three deserve attention. Sometimes we only focus on the grief (Bri) and feel stuck, but your body is telling you there’s life and playfulness ready to emerge even in the middle of sadness.
A gentle approach could be:
-
Acknowledge Bri fully—let her feel, maybe hold her in your mind for a moment.
-
Invite Tiger—even a small stretch, walk, or playful movement to release energy.
-
Invite Sweetie—a small act of care, like brushing your hair, choosing an outfit, or lighting a candle.
Notice that each part doesn’t have to dominate. They can coexist, and by letting Tiger and Sweetie out, you’re not dismissing Bri—you’re expanding your internal experience.
If you like, I can guide you through a little exercise to let all three parts be expressed safely together, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Do you want to try that?
