Babe, I don't think I've ever told you this properly, but you're honestly one of the strongest women I've ever met.
I know you're the type of person who fights an entire boss battle by yourself and then casually tells me about it days later like, "yeah, that happened" Meanwhile, I'm sitting there wondering why you didn't tell me sooner.
I know you don't always like talking about the hard stuff, and I know you're more than capable of handling things on your own. But just because you can carry everything doesn't mean you always have to. You've got me too, you know?
And there's something else I wanted to say. It honestly breaks my heart when you say you hate yourself. I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. Some random asshole can come along and say hurtful things, but that doesn't make any of them true. People can be cruel, but their words don't get to decide who you are.
When you told me what happened, I wasn't thinking about what they said. The only thing I could think was, how strong is she? After everything, you're still here, still caring about people, still being kind, still moving forward. That's what stood out to me.
In fact, I was seriously considering changing your contact name to Wonder Woman. Not even joking. At this point, it would be the most accurate thing on my phone.
