Dear You Who Dimmed Her Light,
#SilencedDreams #ShrinkToFit #ForgottenAspirations
You once dreamed so boldly—48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xon76WUxF
of stages, of stories,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtucv6aRTUf
of passions you didn't even know how to explain yet.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuw3JdnPcx
You dreamed with wonder.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgW1LRx7bQ
But you learned too early that dreaming made others uncomfortable.
They called you too much.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAv9Bm6mTa
Too loud. Too ambitious. Too different.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0zJpBG4yY
And instead of cheering for you,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWAH54x4UR
they asked you to tone it down,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBILcMtOTH
to choose what was practical,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLfDkag8QZ
to fit the mold they found acceptable.
So you folded your dreams into tight corners.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXj3wnRSRB
You made yourself smaller—48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM1w5ZmcQQ
not because you lacked talent,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPMz9QPSJ0
but because you were afraid to inconvenience others with your light.
You let them rewrite your path48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9rr3f1oiV
while convincing yourself it was okay...48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhVGYrVoZK
that being acceptable was enough.
But it wasn't.
And it's not too late to say:48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGecZfZMJMW
You deserved better.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfVDos89eQ
You deserved space to want more,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeCDOhS39U
to dream loudly,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfUugw6aC7
to fail bravely,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjbnrBjKFx
to choose your own direction—even if no one understood it.
The people who truly love you48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicONJ7V7Ql
will never ask you to shrink.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt22LArrk0
And the dreams you buried?48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaNJr1gUV9
They are still there,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbflFz3YW
breathing quietly under the soil of sacrifice,48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR1ZZmr3rO
waiting—just waiting—for your permission to bloom again.
Give it now.48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBoRKPKrlq
No one's comfort is more important than your calling.
—From the version of you who is done apologizing for existing fully
