Dear You Who Were Always There,
#InvisibleSupport #FriendZonedSoul #AlwaysTheSecondChoice
You were the dependable one.39Please respect copyright.PENANAjOPNFjKKpg
The one who never forgot birthdays,39Please respect copyright.PENANALttfYboNMa
who stayed up late to listen,39Please respect copyright.PENANA1sG4rTXL3V
who clapped the loudest at every victory—39Please respect copyright.PENANAJp3orqtOd1
even when no one clapped for you.
You were the seat left open at the table,39Please respect copyright.PENANAECcAXIjjUM
but never the reason the table was set.
You gave your loyalty freely,39Please respect copyright.PENANALCflFXYMNs
showed up with your whole heart,39Please respect copyright.PENANAMxW85TA5Ij
hoped—quietly, endlessly—39Please respect copyright.PENANANZomTWqsmU
that this time, they would choose you.
But somehow, you were always background.39Please respect copyright.PENANAjXuIcG6jXf
Always the friend.39Please respect copyright.PENANAfLKRfOLBeZ
Always "thank you for being there,"39Please respect copyright.PENANAelNIifS2Hj
but never "I couldn't do this without you."39Please respect copyright.PENANAXrIfhBMZQp
Never the first call,39Please respect copyright.PENANALGjEigtKa1
never the favorite.
And the worst part?39Please respect copyright.PENANAPbhs5b2u1h
You kept showing up anyway.39Please respect copyright.PENANAMHJm76SCHi
Kept believing that maybe love is earned39Please respect copyright.PENANAkIdax5ubqi
if you just care enough,39Please respect copyright.PENANAVoD1I3ZvwC
try enough,39Please respect copyright.PENANAr77FjIwvHW
give enough.
You accepted crumbs and convinced yourself they were meals.39Please respect copyright.PENANAliW3oeJ5rx
You celebrated others' happiness39Please respect copyright.PENANANzSQeHFsW1
even when it meant swallowing your own pain.39Please respect copyright.PENANAZBFPDi4zPN
You watched them choose someone else39Please respect copyright.PENANA0SRdokux7Y
again and again,39Please respect copyright.PENANA122GaXwkpZ
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.39Please respect copyright.PENANA0FoWFqcaKP
It was always there—39Please respect copyright.PENANAxXizFozlMu
in the way you stayed kind,39Please respect copyright.PENANAnUcRg6SBc0
in the way you gave without expecting,39Please respect copyright.PENANAo1oQQ6rdcY
in the way you held space for others39Please respect copyright.PENANAnnXU0yE3Hj
even when no one held space for you.
You were not invisible.39Please respect copyright.PENANAFsDxhWQbyn
They just didn't know how to see you.
You deserved to be someone's first thought.39Please respect copyright.PENANA8bo5wmGDGq
You still do.
You don't have to prove you're lovable39Please respect copyright.PENANA3vK6o34YCr
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,39Please respect copyright.PENANASd7vX6Nrkc
—From the one who finally sees your light
