We're Sorry

We're sorry we couldn't be who you wanted us to be.

We're sorry we aren't perfect.

We're sorry we let you down.

We're sorry we couldn't live up to your expectations.

We're sorry our happiness was at the cost of your own.

We're sorry we don't seem to care as much as we should.

We're sorry we sinned.

We're sorry we're mentally ill and can't be normal.

No we're not.

That's bullshit and we shouldn't have to apologize to you.

Hey you out there!

You don't have to be sorry. You don't have to apologize.

You don't deserve the hate and they don't deserve an apology.

You don't have to be anyone but yourself. Don't be anyone but yourself.

You're not perfect. You're more than perfect if you're true to yourself and the people you love.

You didn't let anyone down by being yourself. If they are people trying to tell you otherwise, it's because they don't have the heart to be a better person and love you.

You don't have to live up to anyone's expectations. Life is not a fairytale full of legacies. You have nothing to uphold other than your own goals. And your goals should always be for you and no one else. Always do better and do better for yourself.

You're happiness did NOT cost somebody else theirs. You're happiness does NOT deprive anyone else of their own either. You're happiness is yours and belongs to you and only you and is in no way tied to anyone else's. And your happiness is not entitled to another person.

You don't have to care for someone who doesn't care for you. And it's not wrong to leave someone behind if they're toxic and only dragging you down. Making room for yourself and your personal growth is not a crime and it does not mean that you're selfish.

You did not sin. And if someone is trying to use their religion and beliefs as a means to bring you down, they're breaking their own rules and hurting you. More than anything, they're wrong for that. You're fine just the way you are.

Just because you're of a minority does not mean you're mentally ill. Just because you ARE mentally ill does not make you any more or less of a human OR any more or less deserving of love.

Please love yourself and know that I always have you in my heart.

If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you.
