Thank You

A reflection on adversity.

---

Thank you.

For bullying me.

I've learned that it was your insecurity projected on me.

Now I know that I'm beautiful.

Thank you.

For walking all over me.

I've learned that setting boundaries is not selfish.

Now I know how to stand up for myself.

Thank you.

For crossing my boundaries.

I've learned how damaging that can be to my soul.

Now I know how to safeguard them with my life.

Thank you.

For breaking up with me.

I've learned that there's better out there for me.

Now I know the difference between love and infatuation.

Thank you.

For betraying me.

I've learned that first impressions can be wrong.

Now I know who to trust.

Thank you.

For underestimating me.

I've learned that I have nothing to fear.

Now I know how to use my voice.
