Dear You Who Slowly Disappeared,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r1QUND18S
#TheOriginOfTheHurt
You didn't stop dreaming because you were weak.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEaiItvF1E
You stopped because no one looked at you like you could do it.
They made you doubt the things that once made you excited.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeC0AMt6xN
A drawing, a performance, an idea you whispered out loud.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wCFcJgmDn
They brushed it off, laughed,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5zobf3e0V
or worse—ignored it altogether.
And that silence was louder than any insult.
You started dimming.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0diDRBnYVG
Shrinking yourself.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbw0bxdCDe
Convincing your heart that maybe it was right—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyRU68Ut3A
maybe you weren't special.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyJu17BgNx
Maybe you had nothing to offer.
So you blended in.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez3TIQM6b4
You stopped raising your hand.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACgS8dbmBO
You stopped trying to shine.
Because what's the point of blooming43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd55a2de7JD
when no one bothers to water you?
But here's the truth:
The absence of their belief43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuon1DMD0J
doesn't mean you were never capable.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxanC8eMiU3
It only means they weren't capable of seeing you.
You didn't fail yourself.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcXQxK6TWz
You were failed by those who should've nurtured you,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4kscGtbM
cheered for you,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3v6HBwVtl
and reminded you that your passions weren't silly.
That voice inside you—the one that used to hum with hope—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDHqbZW1rX
it's still there.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUsSpJ48n4
Buried, maybe. Bruised, yes.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV4HIdcDEP
But not gone.
You don't need their validation to start again.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UqX1jfGxW
You only need your own permission to try.
Start small.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsojUsNCxtH
Speak kindly.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRHSQ4MnbY
Breathe life back into the parts of you that once sparkled.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIQZORI89
Let yourself believe again—this time, for you.
Because you've always been worthy of becoming.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn497gThrO
Even when they didn't believe it...43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGVpWovNEv
I do.
And someday, so will you.
With love and fierce gentleness,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i0hDsFCFL
