I just wanted to share something I wrote back in the spring. After putting up with a lot of disappointing, self centred and cruel people in my life, I realised something about myself and decided to write a "letter" to those who had hurt me. I wanted to post it here so if you have also been disappointed, hurt or left behind by a person or several people, remember to just keep going! Here it is...
"To all of you who thought I would fail, that I wouldn't go anywhere, make anything of myself. To those of you who tried to poison me with your negativity, your hateful words. To those of you who said I wasn't pretty enough, smart enough, tall enough, talented enough, strong enough or even good enough. To all of you who abandoned me when I needed you most, walked away when I needed you by my side. I just want to thank you. Your words pushed me, made me stronger. Look at me now. Your words have filled me not with hate and self loathing but a will, a purpose and power. Thanks to your negativity I will never quit. All I can do from here is descend up. I can forgive all of your actions but I will never forget and this I once again thank you for."
