Dear You,
You could have turned cold.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL8hvK0qk7
You had every reason to.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraYTLbojKm
After everything they took—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULJa1WiOZ
your voice, your softness, your trust—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YoagfdOgV
you could have built walls so high232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TPsgkRc3N
no one would ever touch you again.
But you didn't.
You chose warmth.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVomtW6nuL
You chose gentleness,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIY8BBeqfN
even when the world didn't deserve it from you.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqguNfpV9mn
You let your wounds teach you compassion,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDEud01CAf
not cruelty.
You became the kind of person232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbThk2FOpE
you once needed during your darkest hours.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6wEbBH0fW
Someone who listens without judgment,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67hudORHEU
who holds without demanding,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAtgyHTRb0
who understands silence and pain232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyDbn0XKG0
as if they were native languages.
It would have been easier to harden.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnXWsnlepw
To mirror the harshness you received.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV88HpwZOv
But instead, you healed by becoming232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXEWTXk6ki
a refuge—for others, and eventually, for yourself.
I know there are days232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXD2JjBKm1
when it feels like strength should look more like armor.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk2HUZji7z
But you—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsvLg1gDDN
you wear your courage in your softness.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWveCHYA7h
And that is no less fierce.
So this is a thank you—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYGinfBbOL
for not letting the world turn you into it.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijIATM9NMY
For staying tender232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mYk4pW3GI
even when it would've been safer not to.
You are proof232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nMoVYWN0z
that survival can look like love,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbdNXILphT
and that healing doesn't always roar—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZye7c22THE
sometimes, it simply holds space.
And that is everything.
With so much quiet pride,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDK8RRjoA0
