To those of you who have become my enemies... those who wished to drag me down and make me hate myself... thank you. You people have shown me just how strong of a person I really can be. Over the years, I have watched myself grow as a person... better myself. it's all thanks to people who tried to make me hate myself. Some of them did.. for awhile... and then my close friends and loved ones were always there to help me, still. Together... I have become a better man than I ever thought I could be.

To anyone dealing with people who wish to hurt you with their words... think of it as a lesson in tough love... and force yourself to fight through the pain to better yourself... show them just how wrong they really were about you because they are. those who wish to hurt you are always wrong about you. they want to see you fail, but that is up to you and you alone. think of it as a goal to fight through and grow. Even if their opinions never change on you, you still have them to thank for making you better yourself. In the end, you are never alone. There is always someone out there willing to help you push on through the dark times. You have to make the change, yourself, though... never lose that determination. Fight for your growth, fight for yourself... I know you can do it.
