Yourself

As a message to those who used to bring me down at school, to my old friend that I used to spend lots and lots of time with. I want to make things right today. Sure, I can sit here and hate you for all that matters, but the thing is that everything in your life happens for a reason. Me being bullied made me to the person I am today, made me be with the people that love me and it made me realize how I want to help people who go through this. Maybe your intentions were never to harm me this way, maybe you didn’t even know that I felt like that. But right now I just want you to know that the past doesn’t matter as much as you keep being stuck on it. It may leave a scar, never heal again, but the things that matter in life are the things we should focus on. So no, I’m not mad at you anymore. Right now I’m happy, because I am myself.

As a message to the people who helped me, my neighbor who has been my friend for so long, my sweet mother for always being there for me, my father for always telling me to follow my heart no matter what gender I might fall in love with, all four of my grandparents for always loving me no matter how freaky and weird I dress, my family for loving me for being who I am, my best friend who have been with me through the dark and happy times, my small squad for supporting me and putting my broken pieces together again, my other friends for actually liking me.

I could go on and on, thanking everyone for making me like the being I am today. But the only one who makes you who you are… well… That’s you! Don’t let anyone tell you who you can or cannot be, because why should you? We are humans, people and living beings. Just show the world that you do matter, that the real you matters!

And please don’t forget to be yourself. Never forget that.
