#HealingInLayers #SilentVictories #StrengthInSoftness #LettersIWillNeverSend

Dear Scars,

There was a time you were all I could see.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgeSZkB33
Red. Raw. Angry.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbubCbeGaHE
A map of everything I had endured,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmFcredh6R
etched into my memory,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ05j9nDKV
echoing through sleepless nights and quiet breakdowns.

I hated you once.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3wl0qNB5
Not because you existed,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lgqRk0DrV
but because of what you reminded me of—263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vHCZmYcn9
every wound I couldn't prevent,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKm1XcQXzn
every word that cut too deep,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1vwtBjrix
every goodbye I never got to process.

You used to burn.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcBwsbogle
You used to sting.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4gEk9ZDK
But now...263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLf9dpNXTx
You've faded into something else.

You've become proof.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSWY4zqS76
Proof that I didn't just survive,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqPqLPNgnr
I carried on.

You remind me not of pain,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Gf4S24xF
but of power.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oQmBPbEHf
Of how I chose to stay—263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZK7zLfcog
even when everything told me to give up.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFMMqKxkQX
Of how I whispered, "just one more day",263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aBqYwFTZ8
until one day,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWRoQIKnZM
I didn't have to whisper anymore.

You remind me that healing isn't a loud process.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1BdmP3h65
Sometimes it's messy.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUI09OdpX2
Sometimes it's slow.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVht4k0MbPa
Sometimes it looks like laughing again at something silly,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvCzn3SmtF
or sleeping soundly for the first time in months.

You're still here, but you no longer hurt.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloOKKG3bGi
You no longer define me.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk9V3MXSGh
You simply live quietly under the surface,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMup9LSQlB
like soft echoes of battles I've already won.

To my scars that no longer ache—263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLJkwnFOtt
thank you.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO0YNZiXqv
For being my reminders.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4OSSgT0LT
For being my resilience.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1QjRujOct
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—263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsNsp6efdH
look at us now.

With love,263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDMBIuqNBu
The one who learned to be gentle with herself

263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH1SP9qS4y
