To the Ones Who Doubted Me


Dear Doubters,

      I want to start first by saying thank you.

Because of you, I was able to find myself.

I found the person I had been searching for. I found the fight. I found the will.

The fire within me lit up and it sparked a new beginning.

I was able to start over.

To find my true meaning of life.

To find the dreams that were buried under distress, hurt, and agony.

My light inside grew stronger and brighter.

So thank you.

It made me realize who I was, and that I did not need you to be happy and to strive.

 

 

                                 Farewell,

                       The girl who kept fighting
