Dear You,
You spent so long waiting—239Please respect copyright.PENANAXUi0YxazgB
for validation,239Please respect copyright.PENANA1QDpAr9xYD
for permission,239Please respect copyright.PENANAOs2WpsHUZz
for someone to say, "Yes, you're allowed to want more."
But no one came.
So one day, you looked around at all the places you shrank yourself to fit239Please respect copyright.PENANA0BWhYw7YGK
and realized:239Please respect copyright.PENANADFGzRV3Ynq
You don't need permission to grow.
You bloomed anyway—quietly, rebelliously.239Please respect copyright.PENANAq2yBQqqfPf
Not in perfect conditions.239Please respect copyright.PENANAfAukgIjEVl
Not with the support you deserved.239Please respect copyright.PENANAggCLVnoAwO
But still, you bloomed.
You stopped asking people to love the real you239Please respect copyright.PENANAZivStsbhww
before you decided to love her first.239Please respect copyright.PENANAQYCio6DUtR
You let go of the need to be understood239Please respect copyright.PENANAvCdsSamWNf
and replaced it with the courage to be free.
This is not the end of your becoming—239Please respect copyright.PENANAw0VzXEg3KN
it's the part where the sun finds you,239Please respect copyright.PENANAKodL6Hns6N
and you no longer hide from its warmth.
Grow wild, grow soft, grow true.239Please respect copyright.PENANAAvBmqOvs3c
The garden was always within you.
With tenderness,239Please respect copyright.PENANAugJoAzVqIB
—The Bloom You Became
