Dear Someone: Your peace is not a price to pay for their comfort. You deserve to be more than a refuge for the unworthy.

Read this if you’ve been sacrificing your happiness to keep others happy or if you’ve been silencing your voice to avoid conflict.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

I didn’t think I’d be writing to you again so soon after my last letter, but your story has stayed with me. I’ve been thinking about the weight you carry—the weight of other people’s expectations, the weight of their demands, the weight of their approval. I’ve been thinking about how heavy it must feel to live a life where your peace is the price you pay for their comfort. And so, here I am, hoping these words find you in a moment of quiet, in a moment where you can hear the truth: you deserve more.
