There are always two kinds of people in your life: the ones that support you and the ones that doubt you. To the people that have ever doubted me, put me down, or didn't believe in me, enjoy, because this article is for you. But this article isn't to put you down. Instead, I want to thank you.

All in all, thank you for letting me prove you wrong.

Thank you to the people that know so little about my life, but still find it their place to tell me how bad of a person I am and how I deserve everything bad that comes my way.

Thank you to the ex-friends that constantly saw it as a competition, doing everything in your power to make sure I wasn't successful.

Thank you to the ex-boyfriends that didn't find it necessary to encourage me, but instead, belittled me because you didn't think I could do it.

Thank you for telling me I wouldn't make it through college, but here I am with a decent GPA that has suffered from more major set backs than you can count on two hands. Look at where I'm at now though: I've been working hard to do good and graduate on time with a degree that I have been dreaming about since I was a little.

Thank you for making it your favorite hobby to bring me down. Maybe you were too jealous of what all I was capable of accomplishing, and I am sorry. I'm sure you had people to doubt you too, but instead of using all of the negative comments to do good, you took their input in all the wrong ways. Because of this, you ended up doubting yourself and this behavior has made yourself a doubter.

Do you know what your doubts and put downs caused? Pain at first, yes. But you gave me the motivation to be a better person, to be a successful person. Without all of the people that didn't believe in me, I definitely wouldn't be where I am now. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have pushed myself nearly as hard to be as successful as I can.

Whether you doubted my friend choice, college choice, or career choice, or just doubted me in general, thank you.

Everything turned out to be okay because through all of your doubts, my God believes in me 24/7.
