Choose your words wisely.....

I would just like to say congratulations.....you succeeded. You told me that I was fat and ugly long enough that I truly believe it. I can't simply get dressed in the morning without destroying myself mentally and verbally or breaking down in tears. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin most days. I can never truly except a compliment without worrying if what they've said is true or if they just said it so my feelings wouldn't be hurt.

I know I will never be the hot girl and I have excepted that, but I can finally say with confidence I may not be hot but I AM creative, smart, funny, loving, caring and a good person. I have a big heart and amazing talents and I am special to some people in my life even though you told me no one would want me. I hope that you're proud of yourself and all you accomplished with your destructive words. I am so much more then you told me I would ever be, so I just want to say thank you. Thank you for making me strive to be the opposite of what you said I would become. I still have things I have to over come but I have time and at least I know when my life has come to an end I can say that I built people up to be the best they could be and did not destroy them.

And just so you know I'm not alone and someone does want me. People love me just for who I am imperfections and all. I pray that you see this and understand how your horrible destructive words affected my life. But it's something I CAN and WILL overcome one day. In the future I pray that you would consider the words you have spoken to me and stop to think if you would say the same thing to your daughter as she grows up.

To all who are reading this choose your words wisely because they could be creating someones future and that's a big responsibility.

Many Blessings~
