Dear You,
You could have turned cold.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R0XQvZQ3C
You had every reason to.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafLIwq23cN
After everything they took—249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH2gtBmYuv
your voice, your softness, your trust—249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOmN88l1xt
you could have built walls so high249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgur9SpVjZx
no one would ever touch you again.
But you didn't.
You chose warmth.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT2AkD1Wx2
You chose gentleness,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TXivvQLiS
even when the world didn't deserve it from you.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jIA8eJmc9
You let your wounds teach you compassion,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTgCLUVjHk
not cruelty.
You became the kind of person249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNzaznSQEm
you once needed during your darkest hours.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUOpoQ0Zy0
Someone who listens without judgment,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHiDitQqXI
who holds without demanding,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGG6jS0D6d
who understands silence and pain249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMauVk4DHuq
as if they were native languages.
It would have been easier to harden.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1e2hQS9PK
To mirror the harshness you received.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrDQyIFtgP
But instead, you healed by becoming249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3M3hiRF6
a refuge—for others, and eventually, for yourself.
I know there are days249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmR1EoboKe
when it feels like strength should look more like armor.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIEK6JX05A
But you—249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMYyBgEFQ
you wear your courage in your softness.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aTw6WGJ1A
And that is no less fierce.
So this is a thank you—249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpiddkLVU9
for not letting the world turn you into it.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZCcIGRBba
For staying tender249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKCQgpGmxj
even when it would've been safer not to.
You are proof249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VGZbHjExm
that survival can look like love,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8DkrO5qHR
and that healing doesn't always roar—249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO4inJFZiL
sometimes, it simply holds space.
And that is everything.
With so much quiet pride,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreeIqoXU1A
