Dear You,
There was a time you believed happiness was something borrowed—289Please respect copyright.PENANAjhBJqnhEJ7
a rare flicker you weren't allowed to keep.289Please respect copyright.PENANAWMOs4jGDYg
You tiptoed around joy like it was a fragile thing,289Please respect copyright.PENANAiGeneDQA1K
afraid that if you held it too tightly,289Please respect copyright.PENANAXcEueEFaEI
life would punish you for wanting too much.
You laughed, but only for a moment.289Please respect copyright.PENANAXD3HozlKBc
You smiled, but second-guessed it.289Please respect copyright.PENANAqBd7vIPgNn
You questioned good days,289Please respect copyright.PENANABQPj2J98wV
as if peace was a trap you weren't supposed to fall into.
But look at you now—289Please respect copyright.PENANAzlzZ23hKtr
dancing in your own light,289Please respect copyright.PENANArM1ioAawU8
unbothered by the voices that told you289Please respect copyright.PENANAVaCdthOzIE
you had to suffer to be worthy.
You no longer feel guilty for resting.289Please respect copyright.PENANAKke7KfYcKp
You no longer apologize for choosing peace.289Please respect copyright.PENANA97AeR8fWRI
You no longer call yourself selfish289Please respect copyright.PENANAyWghNLuSXH
for putting your heart back in your own hands.
You learned that joy is not a crime.289Please respect copyright.PENANAKGLMTuevX9
That your healing doesn't have to be earned in blood.289Please respect copyright.PENANAMnqpE5CLKv
That you're allowed to feel whole289Please respect copyright.PENANA1bFPIs5iu1
even when others are still breaking.
And that doesn't make you unkind—289Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1i0MSskfG
it makes you brave.
So here's to you.289Please respect copyright.PENANA8C3usu03OL
The one who stopped punishing herself for surviving.289Please respect copyright.PENANANQRXaYHYPT
The one who lets herself laugh, dance, cry, and bloom,289Please respect copyright.PENANA9fQH9afWGO
without asking permission.
You deserve every ounce of joy you feel now.289Please respect copyright.PENANAwgKZ8gSWBw
And all the ones still coming.
Love,289Please respect copyright.PENANAbLU8htQpMi
The version of you who finally came home to herself
