A Letter To The Person Who Doesn't See Potential In Me

I know at the end of the day I am strong, courageous, brave, smart, loving, trustworthy, and honest. I will never become who you have become, I am stronger.

A Letter To The Person Who Doesn't See Potential In Me

No matter how hard I have tried to show you I can accomplish any task you set before me you find faults in what I am doing. You chose to critique my every move. You hardly ever give me a compliment for helping you or completing what you would like me to do. This has been extremely difficult. I try and try day in and day out to think of ways the please you. It is honestly the most exhausting thing I have been through in a while. I am unsure how much more effort I can give towards trying to figure out a way to make you happy.

So I am done being the ginny pig for your critiquing, narcissistic comments. I am not going to put forth any more effort towards being who you want me to be. I am going to be who I want to be. I refuse to give you any more satisfaction. I will not react to your comments. I will not spend countless hours replaying and trying to be a different person. I refuse to do this. I deserve better. Whatever relationship you call this will remain the same unless you are able to notice in yourself what you are doing. Which I will not hold my breath for because there is no way you will be able to look past your own thoughts to empathize with mine.

Regardless of who you think I am. I know at the end of the day I am strong, courageous, brave, smart, loving, trustworthy, and honest. I will never become who you have become, I am stronger. I refuse to put people down and make them squirm. Life is more than your opinion and criticism. I hope one day you will be able to see the potential in me that a lot of others do. Until then I truly wish you the very best.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
