Dear Hater,
I did know this day would come to tell that you are really a shitty human being, but you are not the reason why I am writing this. I am writing this for me by me.
The reason I’m writing this is for you to realize your wrongdoings of how much you made me feel and how your dagger words have hurt me. Over the course of time, you became that monster under my bed and that negative voice in my head. The reason I want to write this is to get closure to forgive you and move on from this chapter of my life. I want to tell you that I’m done with you and other people making me feel small. I refuse to let people like you who are insecure, cowards and miserable, see me fail. I refuse to let you dangle your power to make me feel less about myself ever again because I realized my worth. I refuse to let myself hate you so much that you sicken my soul and ruin my day, even my week sometimes. I refuse to let you make me cage my heart from others that don’t deserve it. I refuse for you to make me cold-hearted and distrust people than I ready to do now.
I’m lettered to thank you for your pain and to tell that you did not win as much you thought you did. You did not crush my spirit because, in all honesty, I’m like a butterfly that was a helpless caterpillar now but as soon as I grow and come back from defeat I bigger, and better than ever. For once in my life, I feel liberated from everything you put me through.
This letter is to help anyone who is going through the same thing I went through and to tell you that you are stronger than the person who is tearing you down and you will come out of this stronger than ever. It’s not fair to body shame. It’s not fair to feel alienated daily or that you have no place where you belong. Just because you were jealous you bullied me. It took a few years later to realize you hurt people because you were hurt and you want to feel powerful by me being powerless. It’s not my fault that you were bullying me.
I’m not writing this to gain sympathy. I’M WRITING THIS TO TELL YOU DON’T BREAK ME. YOU DON’T FUCK ME UP AND YOU DO NOT SHAKE ME! WHAT KILLS YOU MADE ME STRONGER. You definitely killed my spirit but not anymore.
Kind regards,
The Girl Who Can’t Be Taken Down
