Dear Little Grown-Up,360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutb5PcsjzB
#TheOriginOfTheHurt
You were still just a child—soft hands, wide eyes, tiny dreams.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkCT4xAviA
But the moment you learned how to listen, they gave you their tears.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWStDYs9Z2x
They told you stories you shouldn't have had to carry.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv98edaltV7
They placed their heartbreak in your hands like toys,360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8zy5AI2Yn
and called you "mature for your age" when all you really were...360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRFDBxve7h
was trying not to let anyone fall apart.
You became the steady one.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMoaWZoxLI
The helper.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyIPpa5Z1i
The fixer.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xFksyALDm
The one who asked, "Are you okay?"360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyNz9guJsM
even when no one asked it back.
And they were proud of you for being strong.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TD7bFSqx1
But no one wondered who you leaned on when the world got heavy.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP76pZ2HU6Y
They just kept handing you more.
You became the safe place for everyone—360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7isz6Ft6
except yourself.
You taught yourself how to smile when you were sad.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYoMBywxOD
How to hide tears because there was no time to cry.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2v5FiRX7
You learned early that love sometimes looked like sacrifice.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxaOQyTgnH
Like silence.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwYhuT82LT
Like swallowing pain just to keep the peace.
But here's what I need you to know now:
You were not supposed to be their therapist.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq14wF8Gf0
You were not supposed to be the glue holding broken adults together.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGpCv6qPo2
You were supposed to be loved loudly, protected fiercely,360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEtSiUWBh
and allowed to just be a child.
I'm sorry they made you grow up too soon.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPtpZhMVEn
I'm sorry your softness had to become armor.
But I am so proud of you—360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5hn2tXCi5
for surviving what you never signed up for.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLxj3bcqFZ
For learning how to comfort others when you had no idea what comfort really felt like.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPMQi3LRoC
For being strong in ways no one ever acknowledged.
And now, let me say what no one said to you then:360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvu6FkeDnL
You don't have to carry everyone anymore.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmAzYgt0Xm
You're allowed to rest.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxAJ448ank
You're allowed to feel.360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9Dws8k5ml
You're allowed to receive.
You are still worthy,360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRARI4geph
even when you're not holding the world together.
Love,360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGLyN6H2Og
The woman who now holds you
