Dear You,
You could have turned cold.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiivblcZUS
You had every reason to.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZdbysyhAT
After everything they took—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbopE3j2iQ
your voice, your softness, your trust—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfREa6N8sN
you could have built walls so high55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eBenaP16W
no one would ever touch you again.
But you didn't.
You chose warmth.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPkElICGSg
You chose gentleness,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0gQ8PVBiX
even when the world didn't deserve it from you.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtQrM46jE3
You let your wounds teach you compassion,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPubSnxKovl
not cruelty.
You became the kind of person55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDAz3Gcth
you once needed during your darkest hours.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMnwoMWadz
Someone who listens without judgment,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iuv7ewU0P
who holds without demanding,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuLuQ71HVB
who understands silence and pain55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8af1jDRf5D
as if they were native languages.
It would have been easier to harden.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDwxNyhJCh
To mirror the harshness you received.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw5bxNSbdZ
But instead, you healed by becoming55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtts5SV5sY
a refuge—for others, and eventually, for yourself.
I know there are days55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3p6Vjkvzu
when it feels like strength should look more like armor.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJvpawgI7G
But you—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxHPXuXC7P
you wear your courage in your softness.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ebQAS01hF
And that is no less fierce.
So this is a thank you—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSr5iysY7
for not letting the world turn you into it.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKLonzkzwf
For staying tender55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpHtKOEc32
even when it would've been safer not to.
You are proof55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8wy5ca6Qk
that survival can look like love,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCRKnawQqM
and that healing doesn't always roar—55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaEaFVVmaU
sometimes, it simply holds space.
And that is everything.
With so much quiet pride,55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKXWZFzntM
