Dear You Who Said "It's Okay" Too Many Times,
#TheSearchForLove
You thought love meant endurance.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUe5qFETAV
That to be chosen, you had to tolerate the things that hurt.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS26pbjhyY
That staying quiet, staying soft, staying "understanding"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpdj8reKYf
would make them stay too.
You weren't weak for forgiving them.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnNjmBxpRp
You were just hungry for love.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AJeFTVH6h
And they knew it.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhitu0acXB
They fed off that hunger,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb9SCgQYbV
taking more than they ever gave back.
Each time you said "I'm okay,"391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSsmFHuMFy
you swallowed a truth that should've been spoken.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvDW8lrJtA
Each time you forgave without receiving even a hint of remorse,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGcGavhbSe
you abandoned a part of yourself391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIadDLbqOG
just to be seen, just to be kept.
But real love doesn't ask you to bleed391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby7Jp0C6dO
to earn someone's warmth.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKenfEGIOXJ
It doesn't demand your silence391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNURGfaqhp0
just to keep the peace.
You weren't dramatic.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg8ACtpVr5
You weren't too much.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4uPPyhlBu
You were just a girl who wanted to be loved the right way391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhGujHL7Mk
but didn't yet know what the right way looked like.
Let me tell you now:391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpRKmvPIUD
Love doesn't make you choose between being respected391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUyhLn6gfi
and being held.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqJNvBTJhk
It doesn't turn your softness into a weapon against you.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq37gSwXon
It doesn't make you feel guilty for hurting.
You can forgive, yes—391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9AfqgfRyQ
but not at the cost of losing yourself.
The girl who kept giving chances...391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAyzEdbS9L
She didn't fail.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzvUGK7mtw
She just hadn't learned yet391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCgEZpLNpB
that being loved shouldn't feel like begging.
I see you.391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Nif09obf
And I want you to know—391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KdUkGC3Rl
you never had to try that hard to be worthy.
You always were.
With all the love you deserved back then,391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiGDZAv42z
