Thank You Haters

You're the reason I'm successful.

Thank You Haters
Mean Girls

Looking back, I realize that it was never me. I was never the problem. It was all a reflection on you. For some reason, so many of you were so bored with your own lives that you put all your energy into trying to destroy another. But at the end of the day, I have you to thank.

Thank you for teaching me the power of words. I am aware of the depth that one word has. A word of encouragement can go a million miles. A word of discouragement can destroy one's whole day. I have learned that words leave mental scars.

Thank you for showing me how to find true friends. I've seen all the red flags and gone through betrayal. I know how badly a friend can stab you in the back. But I also know how good it feels to have a loyal friend who will do anything for you. I know who my real friends are and when to leave a toxic friendship now.

You taught me how to be my own person. When I relied on all of you, I was let down. I had to learn to accept who I was and not listen to the lies you placed in my head. I learned what I love about myself and also what I wanted to work on. I know that being myself is the best way to go.

You've helped me help others. After going through hell from being bullied, I am now able to help others going through the same thing. I am able to give advice and help them heal. Without you almost destroying who I was, I would not be able to bring others through it also.

You've given me a reason to make a difference in this world. I have decided to step up and start a nonprofit to help others who were in my shoes. You've been the reason I had the strength to do this.

So thank you to my haters for motivating me to make a difference. You're the reason I am the successful woman I am today.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

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?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
