Dear You Who Waited Too Long,
#StuckInTheCycle #AlmostLeft #HeldByHope
You knew.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolG99R7GRC
Long before the final breaking point,46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Y6BLKGKW
you felt it in your chest—46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HvWCWI1lE
that hollow ache of knowing46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8hriOIQS6
you were no longer truly seen,46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuxOodbQWY
no longer really chosen.
But you stayed.
You stayed because love, in your heart, meant loyalty.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB16gqoLdiS
You stayed because leaving felt like failure.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58n4T3Yv9h
You stayed because you kept hoping that46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpKxsbHtFM
maybe one more compromise,46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhzeJxSrj3
one more understanding,46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTBofMqat3
one more chance...46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUb7bD5CRG
would make them love you better.
But all it did was slowly unlove yourself.
I know how exhausted you were—46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Rm6OfgzQ
constantly silencing your truth46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I1Z0BWBwP
so someone else could speak louder.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1C0Hu6cox
Shrinking your needs46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08pxq92EbS
so theirs could be prioritized.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LUcWj3AJG
Clinging to potential46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZPsrHz0pr
instead of accepting the painful present.
But hear me now:46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulCh0XsPLb
Staying wasn't your weakness.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtvnkMsLMo
It was your proof of heart—46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTPjXQ25tQ
how deeply you could believe in someone,46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5S4rXHPW
even when they didn't deserve your belief.
But you didn't owe anyone your destruction46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWCei9Wcs4
just to prove your love.
You deserved to be chosen.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPklfH7a8T
Without begging.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrWpiecht
Without bending until you broke.
And even though you stayed too long,46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYxWWBfLA
you still left.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60hm96cHmV
Even if it was just internally at first.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrHmgAeaBp
And that counts.
You may have arrived to your freedom late—46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv2v1IOybH
but you arrived.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfqhv2skg
And that's all that matters now.
—From the woman who finally walked away and never looked back
