Letter Number 11: To the ladies.

This is for the girls who were always treated as an option and never a priority.

Here’s to the silence you keep when it’s easier to whine about how badly your day went because some pretty girls obnoxiously ripped your self-image apart. Here’s to your fragile hearts that got broken over someone whom you never even dated. Here’s to the late night studying on a Friday night when everyone else is out partying.

This is in honor of the girls who were used as bridges to build relationship between couples, when she couldn’t even build a love story of her own. The girls who would rather be behind curtains than risk being laughed at on spotlight. The girls who were simply told they were not good enough. The girls who would starve themselves to death because society called them fat, or because their boyfriends replaced them with someone they could never measure up with. For the girls who’ve been used, rejected, laughed at.

Solitude has always been your sanctuary. A place where you feel safe but unhappy, secured but not loved. I’m not gonna give you false reassurances because that’s not what I am here to do. I give you hope, not by saying the world’s gonna change; but I give you hope by saying one day you’ll be forever changed by everything you had been through. One day, you will look back and realize that thanks to the tragedies you’ve had, you become what you are now: a far better individual that you once were. Wait patiently. Beginnings can be rough, but you’ll see that God will give you an ending more beautiful than you could ever imagine.


Sincerely yours,
Me.
