Thank you to those who believed in me when I didn't
Thank you to those who accepted my eccentricities
Thank you for telling me that I was too intelligent
Thank you for choosing her over me
Thank you for the insults
Thank you for the failing grade
Thank you for the free date
Thank you for the sudden lack of communication
Thank you for the rejection of my college application
Thank you for choosing selfishness over eleven years of friendship
Thank you for not being the father that I deserved to have
Thank you for giving me a B when I haven't gotten one in two years
Thank you for disrespecting me in public
Thank you for stealing my items and robbing me of my trust
Thank you for treating me as if I did not exist
Thank you for using me
I am stronger without you.
Funny how life exists without you.
Honestly, my life is better without you
However, because of you I became the person I always thought I could be
Without all of these experiences, I would not have been as wise, guarded, and loyal as I am
So here is my letter of gratitude to you.
