To you, who sat at an alter begging for the desires to go away.

To you, who thought you just needed to endure it and not give in to "sin."

To you, the one who begged god to fix you.

To you, who sat quietly at family dinners as your heart sank under the weight of comments from your loved ones.

To you, the one who's been holding your breath for longer than you can remember.

To you, the one who has bite marks on your tongue because you're so afraid that once those words slip through, your whole life will shatter.

You are not broken. No one can fix you because there's nothing to fix. You are lovely. You are amazing. You are beautiful. You are worthy. You are valid. You are loved. You are allowed to breathe. You are allowed to exist exactly as who you are.

To you, because you deserve happiness 💕
