Thank you for your rejection. What you meant for evil, Love will use for good. I wasn’t sure I could live without you. Now I know I can. Now I know how strong I am. Now I like myself with or without your approval. Now I know that the sun will always come out after every storm.

There are seven to eight billion people on this planet and my world would have been so small had I stopped with just you. Other people like me. Other people think I’m cool. So it is your loss if you choose to lose me.

I’ve gone above and beyond for so long. But now I’m done. I’m moving on. My life is better with you in it as long as your heart is for us and you are actively present. But if you decide that is not what you want, then I’m not going to stop you.

I’m going to get busy being fine elsewhere. With people who want to participate. People who aren’t ready to tap out. People who are humble enough to intelligently risk vulnerability.

I’m not going to let you take me down or under. That’s the one thing I won’t do with you: give up.
