Dear You,
It didn't happen overnight.
There were nights you cried yourself to sleep,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYstRIjpjS
grieving things no one even knew you lost.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9rbPZKGz0
You carried silent wars in your chest—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTjteYGw3g
battles between forgiveness and remembering,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9b5XUQGlO
between who hurt you and who you were becoming.
For the longest time, you thought healing44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgm9Ljyt6l
meant forgetting.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlCDQpIWhW
That to move forward,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHhHE7JJUW
you had to erase everything that broke you.
But now, you know better.
You didn't forget.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJsKC3kz2e
You didn't erase.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Euqq7XSAB
You remembered—with softness.
You stopped asking why.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw4b4anz5S
You stopped waiting for the apology that would never come.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzjeekGxzk
You no longer needed closure in the form of their remorse.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxSMGFIx0B
Because the real closure44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56hnCf3Jiz
was you choosing to stop bleeding44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbfSb8HiVD
from wounds they no longer cared to acknowledge.
You rewrote the stories they left unfinished.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYTCoEiV8
You gave yourself the love they withheld.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSRdiVPnpv
And most of all,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNZouvJmHR
you stopped punishing yourself44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrUYjwiHai
for what you didn't know back then.
This isn't the kind of peace people applaud.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fSEbN7t5F
It's quiet.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBp2GQLEuG
It's subtle.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXG1LXveR9
But it's yours.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ZDZEkVDA
And that makes it powerful.
You didn't forget your past.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgOOaOfypL
You just stopped living in it.
With honor and release,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hkwQBMrCs
