I've had countless amount of people try to tear me down because I'm confident in myself but there is one person in my life that has tried to do this to me my entire life. This person has always made me feel inferior on countless occasions and finally, I've decided to put my foot down. I've learned that if you let others have control of you in that way, then they will always win.

I've decided that I not only will never listen to you ever again but also I will never allow for you to have that kind of control over me.

Everything I've done in my life up until this point I have done in hopes that you would realize that we are equal. I have tried so many times to show you that I'm someone to be reckoned with, yet all you see me as is a little kid who doesn't know better. I'm sick of having to try and be someone I'm not for the sake of feeling some sort of love from you when you're too cold-hearted to even love yourself.

I can't say I hate you because I don't, but I do worry about you.

I worry about you because I know that no matter what I decide to do with my life, that I will always be okay because I have faith in myself that no one can take away. As for you, I wish I could say the same for you but you rely on others opinions and acceptance of you for you to be "happy". You can't find happiness in the little things because you're too busy seeing who you can try and tear down next to fill that empty hole in your life.

I really do wish the best for you. I know that after a certain age people don't really change, but I hope that you will see the errors in your ways and chose to become a better person. To be better you must realize when you are wrong and not just avoid apologizing like the plague.

My goal for this is not to tell the world what you have done or said to me over the years to hurt me, but to show you that not only can you no longer hurt me but I quite frankly don't care. I've spent my entire life caring about your opinion of me when even when I was at my highest point, you still found reasons to make me feel bad about myself.

Here's my advice to you, you're not perfect either but I'm not going to point out your flaws to make you feel bad about yourself.

Instead, I'm going to tell you that if you were to use all that time you've spent making me and other people around you feel bad about themselves into fixing the things you hate about yourself, you'd be a much happier person.
