Dear You,
You spent so long waiting—70Please respect copyright.PENANAZmVPtOuWnM
for validation,70Please respect copyright.PENANAfaXNhTms3L
for permission,70Please respect copyright.PENANAvwGsdfHfXn
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 fit70Please respect copyright.PENANAQDtXNvaUGT
and realized:70Please respect copyright.PENANA2pbG4c2jFU
You don't need permission to grow.
You bloomed anyway—quietly, rebelliously.70Please respect copyright.PENANA26vsfh49mc
Not in perfect conditions.70Please respect copyright.PENANALT2GqMGRhR
Not with the support you deserved.70Please respect copyright.PENANADyA6idaGbv
But still, you bloomed.
You stopped asking people to love the real you70Please respect copyright.PENANAEooxSQ8ABE
before you decided to love her first.70Please respect copyright.PENANAaieiC2ITSA
You let go of the need to be understood70Please respect copyright.PENANA0QYY6h9H2i
and replaced it with the courage to be free.
This is not the end of your becoming—70Please respect copyright.PENANA9VNPm1GoeW
it's the part where the sun finds you,70Please respect copyright.PENANAIvFvQsHYgk
and you no longer hide from its warmth.
Grow wild, grow soft, grow true.70Please respect copyright.PENANAQLNZ5iRlkx
The garden was always within you.
With tenderness,70Please respect copyright.PENANAxubaJ4vYhM
