#HealingInLayers #SilentVictories #StrengthInSoftness #LettersIWillNeverSend

Dear Scars,

There was a time you were all I could see.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5qD2TMOoW
Red. Raw. Angry.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4ru483e3
A map of everything I had endured,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7cexShjxy
etched into my memory,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4t3tSQ9iR
echoing through sleepless nights and quiet breakdowns.

I hated you once.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WjFgx8sgQ
Not because you existed,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wip6m5ZL0
but because of what you reminded me of—292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVowRXiR0Yo
every wound I couldn't prevent,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJR57EJ4G
every word that cut too deep,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrvmP7IUBU
every goodbye I never got to process.

You used to burn.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbjOwTVkB
You used to sting.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZDJ0pFGl2
But now...292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChpNNfrdfa
You've faded into something else.

You've become proof.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yzC7BGDE
Proof that I didn't just survive,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUovH1Oe9ll
I carried on.

You remind me not of pain,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjbyqTZdE
but of power.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1lqZoi47m
Of how I chose to stay—292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf2pxWlcMk
even when everything told me to give up.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt0bTom0hO
Of how I whispered, "just one more day",292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FP0HgbmC5
until one day,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF8CHLDqQT
I didn't have to whisper anymore.

You remind me that healing isn't a loud process.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27OefPCJG
Sometimes it's messy.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKbEX518Uz
Sometimes it's slow.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd8JUywnwG
Sometimes it looks like laughing again at something silly,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oT48BZqNg
or sleeping soundly for the first time in months.

You're still here, but you no longer hurt.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAwUyqQFoW
You no longer define me.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDQpisvQD2
You simply live quietly under the surface,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm4dOqYpBT
like soft echoes of battles I've already won.

To my scars that no longer ache—292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaWGPUNUMV
thank you.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowzBeSauyj
For being my reminders.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVA0Jukmsr
For being my resilience.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmZL7JjEYt
For proving that even the most broken things can become beautiful again.

And to the girl who once thought she'd never make it this far—292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFyJS7FIVc
look at us now.

With love,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurNeVF6dgs
The one who learned to be gentle with herself

292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheAQqv4hv3
