Dear You,
There was a time you believed happiness was something borrowed—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxQnAu31z
a rare flicker you weren't allowed to keep.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oL2FgIsrI
You tiptoed around joy like it was a fragile thing,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5QaX5HnTr
afraid that if you held it too tightly,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYJAvSozxN
life would punish you for wanting too much.
You laughed, but only for a moment.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUQ9luLzOR
You smiled, but second-guessed it.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKklUOaRYoQ
You questioned good days,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dtoMU2ggf
as if peace was a trap you weren't supposed to fall into.
But look at you now—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZh2JFPNpI
dancing in your own light,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lC25PTZGl
unbothered by the voices that told you45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY66SFIfRN
you had to suffer to be worthy.
You no longer feel guilty for resting.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1EaVzheUr
You no longer apologize for choosing peace.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecfI422YkE
You no longer call yourself selfish45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuhygXBsI5
for putting your heart back in your own hands.
You learned that joy is not a crime.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEdezv8CWs
That your healing doesn't have to be earned in blood.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh0LvU63WT
That you're allowed to feel whole45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwMopco52G
even when others are still breaking.
And that doesn't make you unkind—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqGgYvevth
it makes you brave.
So here's to you.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qb7iVe2DB
The one who stopped punishing herself for surviving.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18ghM0Q3Yo
The one who lets herself laugh, dance, cry, and bloom,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zeWvqUlmq
without asking permission.
You deserve every ounce of joy you feel now.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1vmhWgFqJ
And all the ones still coming.
Love,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtqNzkBde3
The version of you who finally came home to herself
