Thank you for not believing in me

What if the things you expected to last for eternity, melt away.

The people around you, disappear.

What do you do?

Do you fall down on bended knee and weep for unfulfilled promises?

Do you yell in anger for the felt betrayal?

Or do you surrender to the pain?

Maybe you do all three to finally get to a place of calm strength.

Thank you for giving up on me.

Thank you for not believing in me.

Thank you for abandoning me.

Thank you for thinking I wasn’t worthy for you to love.

Because as a result

I depend on myself,

I believe in myself,

I express myself,

I fight for myself, and

most importantly I love myself.

You not believing in me was the best gift I’ve ever received.
