Thank you to everybody who ever tried to bring me down at one point. I give a standing ovation to you because you made me into the person I am today. I am a girl with a crazy sense of humor. I am a girl who is emotional and sensitive at times. I am the good hearted girl who still cries watching Finding Nemo when poor Nemo gets lost from his fish family. This is me. If you don’t like me, that’s your loss. Many people do like me and frankly, I do not need people in my life who don’t and are miserable. It took me years to realize this. But, some people do not ever realize this.
Throughout my years, I have not only gotten older and wiser, but I have become more empathetic. Why do bullies bully? Why do people intentionally want to hurt others? It all depends. There is a reason behind every action. When we are younger, we just feel hurt. We wonder, why am I the target? Nothing makes sense. Growing up, we start to encounter our own difficulties in life. So, the girl who started the hate club against me? She was probably insecure at that time. Maybe she was going through trouble at home. Maybe she just looked at me and did not like me. I have no idea. For whatever reason you decided that I would be your bait, I forgive you. Sure, I will never forget the rocky rollercoaster of emotions you put me through and the scars that you left on me; memories are very difficult to just forget. But, you took the opportunity to shape me into the new and improved me, so thank you for making me stronger.
One thing you did is you made me into an emotional person. Yes, sensitivity is good to some extent, but now, I am always on guard with people. I think that everybody is against me even if they are not. Little things get to me. Little things make me cry. Basically, the tiniest of things spring across a xylophone of emotions on me. But, it is okay. I can get past this, and I will. Thank you for giving me something to work on.
