Thank You Rania!

To the ones who are tired of apologizing for their sensitivity.
The ones who have to say sorry for overreacting or getting emotional.
The ones who push people away because they care too much about them.
The ones who get hurt when someone looks the other way, when someone ignores their messages, when someone doesn't smile back.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you live in a world that doesn't understand you.
I'm sorry that you live in a world that doesn't realize how much it needs you, because you give people hope and you remind people that it's okay to be real, soft and vulnerable.
You remind people that it's ok to be a non-perfect human being.
To the ones who are tired of apologizing for their vulnerability.
The ones who show too much too soon.
The ones who can't help but tell people how much they love them and what they're willing to do for them.
The ones who believe that people can change, that people can heal, that people just need the right kind of love to be the best versions of themselves.
Don't let the world change you.
Don't let heartbreak make you guarded.
Keep loving.
Keep giving.
Keep saying what you want to say because life is too short to keep important words unsaid.
I still don't have the answers.
I still don't know why people like you are suffering.
I still don't understand how your kindness and your authenticity is working against you but I know that a lot of people are watching you.
I know that a lot of people secretly want to be you.
I know that the people who criticize you also admire you.
I know that you're an inspiration to those around you.
And maybe the world is too hard on you because you're someone people look up to and they want to know that you'll keep on fighting.
They want to know that you'll keep on trying, you'll keep on building your own life and carving your own path because that's what makes you special.
That's what makes you extraordinary.
Your ability to live when everything around you is killing you.
