Dear You Who Slowly Disappeared,38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BDwYYgoM8
#TheOriginOfTheHurt
You didn't stop dreaming because you were weak.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBjLTh3LsB
You stopped because no one looked at you like you could do it.
They made you doubt the things that once made you excited.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSz6Xm9ySI
A drawing, a performance, an idea you whispered out loud.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nC40fqKfk
They brushed it off, laughed,38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqZ2eX3ohh
or worse—ignored it altogether.
And that silence was louder than any insult.
You started dimming.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rmhya0D22
Shrinking yourself.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTD3o2ToUy
Convincing your heart that maybe it was right—38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHqDYWKCad
maybe you weren't special.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA3YFsCSM0
Maybe you had nothing to offer.
So you blended in.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86cRJtjoYi
You stopped raising your hand.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7AlZgfyUM
You stopped trying to shine.
Because what's the point of blooming38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQi2BF3VaH
when no one bothers to water you?
But here's the truth:
The absence of their belief38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuuSrRGlAX
doesn't mean you were never capable.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuc3QieAqX
It only means they weren't capable of seeing you.
You didn't fail yourself.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwpObxZ8lq
You were failed by those who should've nurtured you,38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsicE4z1ZOc
cheered for you,38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0OVoHTWMT
and reminded you that your passions weren't silly.
That voice inside you—the one that used to hum with hope—38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnOSIhoeQj
it's still there.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHr7bjubsO
Buried, maybe. Bruised, yes.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMkYeBxEHC
But not gone.
You don't need their validation to start again.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlRCRrRLtO
You only need your own permission to try.
Start small.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhqcnR8Jp3
Speak kindly.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31jqxF57l
Breathe life back into the parts of you that once sparkled.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TnRpfGQsq
Let yourself believe again—this time, for you.
Because you've always been worthy of becoming.38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xyeU5wOTG
Even when they didn't believe it...38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNbdaHtMn0
I do.
And someday, so will you.
With love and fierce gentleness,38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ODi20DAoE
