Dear You Who Were Always There,
#InvisibleSupport #FriendZonedSoul #AlwaysTheSecondChoice
You were the dependable one.53Please respect copyright.PENANAV7hPMFyNsw
The one who never forgot birthdays,53Please respect copyright.PENANA3hCHNQNiN7
who stayed up late to listen,53Please respect copyright.PENANAvgqAK9qs4I
who clapped the loudest at every victory—53Please respect copyright.PENANA9IdZr0Rm4x
even when no one clapped for you.
You were the seat left open at the table,53Please respect copyright.PENANATFWMyRI81u
but never the reason the table was set.
You gave your loyalty freely,53Please respect copyright.PENANARgAngnXSRZ
showed up with your whole heart,53Please respect copyright.PENANAOtU0Qrq7YY
hoped—quietly, endlessly—53Please respect copyright.PENANAKriD1otFxq
that this time, they would choose you.
But somehow, you were always background.53Please respect copyright.PENANAK3fHNwIk78
Always the friend.53Please respect copyright.PENANAjiQfzo0Vwu
Always "thank you for being there,"53Please respect copyright.PENANAWTVnUxETqM
but never "I couldn't do this without you."53Please respect copyright.PENANA8BAub98sAt
Never the first call,53Please respect copyright.PENANAY8UcrDcV6u
never the favorite.
And the worst part?53Please respect copyright.PENANAgIa9n3yoXq
You kept showing up anyway.53Please respect copyright.PENANAVpeQ7J4l0i
Kept believing that maybe love is earned53Please respect copyright.PENANATqd66nwLKv
if you just care enough,53Please respect copyright.PENANAEiuo3DV28q
try enough,53Please respect copyright.PENANAyQTZlZ5Hig
give enough.
You accepted crumbs and convinced yourself they were meals.53Please respect copyright.PENANAqPoQAYmIlu
You celebrated others' happiness53Please respect copyright.PENANAOVJCuiOswV
even when it meant swallowing your own pain.53Please respect copyright.PENANAt4BYunisoL
You watched them choose someone else53Please respect copyright.PENANAIOa8BlBVPS
again and again,53Please respect copyright.PENANAqTPn5yoZcZ
and still smiled for them through the ache.
But here's what I need you to know:
Your worth was never measured by who chose you.53Please respect copyright.PENANAKX2f1lzzyY
It was always there—53Please respect copyright.PENANAX3Xr6m3Zxc
in the way you stayed kind,53Please respect copyright.PENANAfWHDpjkvWm
in the way you gave without expecting,53Please respect copyright.PENANAP7Gr5r9lKe
in the way you held space for others53Please respect copyright.PENANAkf1Cccp57C
even when no one held space for you.
You were not invisible.53Please respect copyright.PENANAVSunU9B5JX
They just didn't know how to see you.
You deserved to be someone's first thought.53Please respect copyright.PENANAkocesL4w4O
You still do.
You don't have to prove you're lovable53Please respect copyright.PENANAdNlaPOSr5I
by being the one who never leaves.
Let this be the last time you wait on the doorstep of someone else's priority list.
It's time you choose you.
With gratitude for the quiet strength you didn't know was rare,53Please respect copyright.PENANACWjz1c4BCE
—From the one who finally sees your light
