Dear You Who Were Always There,
#InvisibleSupport #FriendZonedSoul #AlwaysTheSecondChoice
You were the dependable one.35Please respect copyright.PENANAUpL6OrqVsv
The one who never forgot birthdays,35Please respect copyright.PENANAvKq43D8En5
who stayed up late to listen,35Please respect copyright.PENANAKzyDWJWm8X
who clapped the loudest at every victory—35Please respect copyright.PENANAQOosyuKaZG
even when no one clapped for you.
You were the seat left open at the table,35Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z8Vh3ARl4
but never the reason the table was set.
You gave your loyalty freely,35Please respect copyright.PENANAtFHna4GDWr
showed up with your whole heart,35Please respect copyright.PENANAgRAT9Nkx4s
hoped—quietly, endlessly—35Please respect copyright.PENANAygwGBR3hs4
that this time, they would choose you.
But somehow, you were always background.35Please respect copyright.PENANABTJnb1F6l6
Always the friend.35Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5PWIzlFqR
Always "thank you for being there,"35Please respect copyright.PENANAGbo7FGO6kH
but never "I couldn't do this without you."35Please respect copyright.PENANA6qe7Q9nVah
Never the first call,35Please respect copyright.PENANAdLlcnVkQTZ
never the favorite.
And the worst part?35Please respect copyright.PENANAwm5lxTYxRf
You kept showing up anyway.35Please respect copyright.PENANAkBj40xe9LP
Kept believing that maybe love is earned35Please respect copyright.PENANA2IF6EZzpb4
if you just care enough,35Please respect copyright.PENANA5rKQLJhZkD
try enough,35Please respect copyright.PENANAb8kkCYf3gu
give enough.
You accepted crumbs and convinced yourself they were meals.35Please respect copyright.PENANACX0UizmPVJ
You celebrated others' happiness35Please respect copyright.PENANAqwUAjqiTnc
even when it meant swallowing your own pain.35Please respect copyright.PENANAVxN3FTF0QQ
You watched them choose someone else35Please respect copyright.PENANAkrdbxFQgep
again and again,35Please respect copyright.PENANAhXUl7gpK4L
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.35Please respect copyright.PENANANCLJ7n6oco
It was always there—35Please respect copyright.PENANAYYF2acqMQx
in the way you stayed kind,35Please respect copyright.PENANAEW3m4e1Jon
in the way you gave without expecting,35Please respect copyright.PENANAx9rYvRatb5
in the way you held space for others35Please respect copyright.PENANAyZAw5xblr9
even when no one held space for you.
You were not invisible.35Please respect copyright.PENANAVShUySAP22
They just didn't know how to see you.
You deserved to be someone's first thought.35Please respect copyright.PENANAilN1gRTnA0
You still do.
You don't have to prove you're lovable35Please respect copyright.PENANApPMWuzwG63
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,35Please respect copyright.PENANA0w6swvo3q8
—From the one who finally sees your light
