To the People Who Accept Me as I Am

Words will never be enough but let me tell you how grateful I am for you

To the people who accept me as I am, words are not enough to tell you how I feel. All the years you’ve been with me are priceless. They taught me that despite all of my imperfections, I can still be accepted; I can still be loved.

They have made me who I am today and I will forever be grateful to you. So for all the people who have accepted me for who I am, here is my letter to you.

Thank you for letting me know that I didn’t have to be perfect just so I could be loved. Thank you because I felt accepted. I felt I had a place to belong to. I had a place to run to when the world starts to judge me and condemn me.

You’ve considered me as a family and a friend. Because of you, I’m never an outcast. Some people may criticize me as though I’m the most miserable person there is. But as long as I know that I have you, I know I’m not worthless.

You saw something in me. Something valuable. Something worthy of love. I’d admit that many times, I couldn’t even see it myself. But thanks to you, I can continue to believe that my life is worth something.

I know I have not always been the ideal family or friend. There were so many times I’ve let you down. So many times I’ve wanted to turn back time so I could prevent myself from hurting you.

Thank you for the countless times you chose to give room for my mistakes. Thank you for the immeasurable patience throughout the years.

There are times when I could barely see what’s worth loving in me. Times when my weaknesses shout so loud I just want to cover my ears and hide.

But you showed me the things I have forgotten. You have shown me the good in me. Thank you for helping me heal my self-esteem. Thank you for making me feel that I, too, deserve to be loved.
