If there’s anything we recently learned from the internet, it’s that inside each of us is a wounded inner child that needs healing. Apparently, there’s no such thing as a perfect childhood, and you’ll only realize this as an adult. Most people choose to heal theirs by buying things they couldn’t afford as kids, exploring creative hobbies they abandoned as busy adults, or doing activities that bring out their playful side.

But the process is different for each person. Some might choose to splurge on anik-ranks and collectibles, but we’re here to tell you that you don’t need to spend a fortune to heal your inner child. In fact, your inner child will be just as happy if you let them experience these low-budget Pinoy-coded ways to help heal them.
