I am so sorry that the ones who were supposed to love and protect you the most broke your heart first. I’m sorry you’ve spent your whole life waiting for people to leave, and that hope always leads you to hurting eventually. I am sorry you were never taught to believe in and value yourself. I am sorry you are riddled with more holes than you know how to plug, that you’ve never been given credit for all you’ve had to withstand. You are so much more than the hand’s you’ve been dealt. If nothing else, I will show you that you are worth every ounch of love you never received. I will make sure that you never need to heal from me. I believe in you so deeply: even when your dreams seem so farfetched and when you fear you won’t amount to anything. You never have to feel alone again: I’ve got you, and you’ve got this. I promise
