A Letter

I exist in this life to be happy, Happy in who I am, in what I do, in all that I am.

I used to put all things before me, all things before how I felt, what I wanted. I used to sacrifice my integrity, my purpose, my desires, I used to give of myself till I had none left.

I am not going to do that anymore. I'm not going to give my life over to something I felt was more worthy than myself.

I'm not going to be a bridge over your troubled waters.

I'm not going to be your hero and my own villain.

I am going to be what I want most.

I am going to be my dreams, my aspirations,

I am going to lift my spirit, my energy, my love.

I am going to leave you behind now,

I am going to leave you with your life,

I am going to leave you with your dreams,

I am going to leave you with you.

Love yourself as I did.
