Dear You Who Slowly Disappeared,30Please respect copyright.PENANAZbmbHItsJQ
#TheOriginOfTheHurt
You didn't stop dreaming because you were weak.30Please respect copyright.PENANAWIUQuVCZ7P
You stopped because no one looked at you like you could do it.
They made you doubt the things that once made you excited.30Please respect copyright.PENANAWq7Edd8F0R
A drawing, a performance, an idea you whispered out loud.30Please respect copyright.PENANA14lc2hDvTU
They brushed it off, laughed,30Please respect copyright.PENANARETrQPT8qS
or worse—ignored it altogether.
And that silence was louder than any insult.
You started dimming.30Please respect copyright.PENANA3ksVqPw5hK
Shrinking yourself.30Please respect copyright.PENANAFU44qcgnwS
Convincing your heart that maybe it was right—30Please respect copyright.PENANAnEaYnfSE0i
maybe you weren't special.30Please respect copyright.PENANAW1r2omVS8e
Maybe you had nothing to offer.
So you blended in.30Please respect copyright.PENANAqARFgYMeKS
You stopped raising your hand.30Please respect copyright.PENANAg3H94I1HaE
You stopped trying to shine.
Because what's the point of blooming30Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q83kjU2R0
when no one bothers to water you?
But here's the truth:
The absence of their belief30Please respect copyright.PENANAKWUcUnl2GN
doesn't mean you were never capable.30Please respect copyright.PENANAun8UtOlj8x
It only means they weren't capable of seeing you.
You didn't fail yourself.30Please respect copyright.PENANAUmA4rawz7X
You were failed by those who should've nurtured you,30Please respect copyright.PENANAe3FVP97Spt
cheered for you,30Please respect copyright.PENANApqJaYs2KoD
and reminded you that your passions weren't silly.
That voice inside you—the one that used to hum with hope—30Please respect copyright.PENANAXDYqQBqWOS
it's still there.30Please respect copyright.PENANAhde9Qwe1Sv
Buried, maybe. Bruised, yes.30Please respect copyright.PENANAUsj4GT1QZ8
But not gone.
You don't need their validation to start again.30Please respect copyright.PENANALI9uDOuNWY
You only need your own permission to try.
Start small.30Please respect copyright.PENANAatWp3JMMUK
Speak kindly.30Please respect copyright.PENANA2MAPKfCHb8
Breathe life back into the parts of you that once sparkled.30Please respect copyright.PENANAyfmvWmPIrf
Let yourself believe again—this time, for you.
Because you've always been worthy of becoming.30Please respect copyright.PENANAJxGbyqDVDU
Even when they didn't believe it...30Please respect copyright.PENANAFBxUVfFqhQ
I do.
And someday, so will you.
With love and fierce gentleness,30Please respect copyright.PENANA3tBTfpoJoj
