Dear You Who Said "It's Okay" Too Many Times,
#TheSearchForLove
You thought love meant endurance.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaHTpu50q7
That to be chosen, you had to tolerate the things that hurt.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKb7dHjKBx
That staying quiet, staying soft, staying "understanding"36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMo880T0E1
would make them stay too.
You weren't weak for forgiving them.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWkrWx2XzO
You were just hungry for love.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR9T6vy7c0
And they knew it.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMz6YGW6fl
They fed off that hunger,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoccwrdpshU
taking more than they ever gave back.
Each time you said "I'm okay,"36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHGixF4Dj0
you swallowed a truth that should've been spoken.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJvlTh9Nkt
Each time you forgave without receiving even a hint of remorse,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD2WTUd9x2
you abandoned a part of yourself36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEzyQMXjsc
just to be seen, just to be kept.
But real love doesn't ask you to bleed36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnx9Sdio6p
to earn someone's warmth.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9AhuEv4tj
It doesn't demand your silence36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloG0hknDzg
just to keep the peace.
You weren't dramatic.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQXgkq8rSH
You weren't too much.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZzNOj5yUH
You were just a girl who wanted to be loved the right way36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD50wHHgQDJ
but didn't yet know what the right way looked like.
Let me tell you now:36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wngT30VS7
Love doesn't make you choose between being respected36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7tI7CjoSC
and being held.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYr23ike7Y
It doesn't turn your softness into a weapon against you.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOJ6iaqouZ
It doesn't make you feel guilty for hurting.
You can forgive, yes—36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt61B7tT16
but not at the cost of losing yourself.
The girl who kept giving chances...36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bMqsdd6Ge
She didn't fail.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NskaSDQLw
She just hadn't learned yet36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxiRp9EyMB
that being loved shouldn't feel like begging.
I see you.36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrBbFkwn8
And I want you to know—36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC9OSDW9UO
you never had to try that hard to be worthy.
You always were.
With all the love you deserved back then,36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrhK8WFgky
—From the version of you who finally learned what love really means
