i know their words hurt and i know they were cruel and i know you weren’t treated the way you should’ve been. i know, i do. none of it reflects on you, though. someone who fails to see your worth (or anyone else’s, for that matter) is someone who needs to change their own beliefs on life. it’s not your job to convince them into doing so. it’s not your job to prove to someone in this world that your existence & humanity are pure and worth being valued. that’s not on you, that’s on them.
