Letters I Never Sent | To The Ones Who Gave Up On Me
You didn’t fight for me.
And for a long time, I convinced myself that meant I wasn’t worth fighting for.
I replayed the conversations, reread the texts, tried to find the exact moment you stopped caring.
But the truth is…
You let go because it was easier than holding on.
And I stayed quiet because I didn’t want to beg for a place I never should’ve had to earn.
I thought I’d break without you.
But I didn’t.
I healed, slowly. Quietly.
And somewhere along the way, I became someone I’m proud of.
So maybe I should thank you.
Not for the silence.
Not for the distance.
But for showing me what I never want to settle for again.
You didn’t fight for me.
But I finally started fighting for myself.
And that was the beginning of everything.
