You matter

I’m sorry
that people made you feel
like you did not matter
like you were not welcome
like you did not belong
like you did not matter
I’m so sorry
They did not see
The beauty
The love
The light
The joy
That you are
But you matter
You are welcome here
You belong here
You have always mattered and
you have always belonged here
No matter what they were saying
You always had and will have a place in this world

I know it’s hard to forget
All the times they said it
All the times they ignored you
All the times they made you feel wrong
But I believe in you
Time will pass
It will heal
And people will come to show you the contrary

Until then
You are welcome to find safety
Find comfort, find warmth
With me
Cuddle up closely
And get a glimpse at
what you never got
but still deserved
I hope this helps you
I hope this makes you feel supported
I hope that one day this gift
will be given to you by others too
Those who see who you are
And that can deal with your beauty
Your joy and your aliveness
You deserve those
And they will come

💛
