To the person I wish I never met.

You did untold damage. 

I gave you a huge part of who I am, and either you were unable to meet it, or you chose to let me be unseen.

I want you to know that, underneath it all, I was always me.

You may not have seen it, but I was there, watching everything. 

Even if you chose to ignore me, I never flinched.

I was always by my side.

And it is worth you knowing: I will continue to always be by my side.

letter - to the person I wish I never met

reflective prompt

at the edge of fear, do you discover strength?
