“I think the people who've felt the most unwanted are the ones who try the hardest to make others feel wanted. they know what silence feels like. what being misunderstood feels like. what it feels like to be chosen last. so when they love, they don’t do it halfway. they love like it’s the only thing holding the world together. they remember birthdays, favorite songs, the way your voice changes when you’re trying not to cry. they show up. every time. and even though they’ve been hurt more than they can explain, they still believe love is worth giving. even if it isn’t always returned.”
