That's it. I've had it. I'm not quitting, heck no, but I am DONE playing their mind games. I swear, I am finished.
I was completely and totally torn apart today. Completely. I've been through so much before, and it's been so bad at times you CAN'T even imagine. Today was just awful though. For the first time, I lost it, totally, but not in front of them. Absolutely not. I just went home bawling.
I just want to get some things straight -
If you've given up on me, then you can bet that I've given up on you, I swear. And with that, all of my respect for you has gone, this means I have no respect at all left for you. Just try getting THAT back from me.
Are you in my head?? Do you even know what goes on in there? I didn't think so. Don't you ever, ever, EVER, tell me I'm not trying and giving my best. I always give my personal best, no matter what the situation.
And lastly, I AM ME! ME ME ME! You have NO RIGHT to even try to change me. I am sick and tired of trying to be what you want, because that is wrong! Do you realize how much you've screwed me up? Thanks to you, I have to find who I am again. And that saddest thing about that is I don't even know who that is anymore. So thank you! Thanks a bunch!
This is my life, my style, my choice! If you don't like that, then you can just kiss my butt and get the hell out of my face and my way. I will not let you or anyone else ever get to me like that again. NEVER again. I will not let you ruin my self esteem and take away the confidence I have left. Because I know that I will have the oppourtunity to do whatever I want in life because of that confidence, but only if I keep it.
While I was getting torn apart, and yes it was in front of 6 other people, an amazing friend of mine wrote this to me:
"You have everything you need! Don't try to look better than your competition. Bear your soul and dance your hardest and it will outshine all the others who are JUST DANCING."
How incredible is that?! Between those words and everything my mom told me. I've realized that they are not the world. I still have the whole world ahead of me, just waiting for me to do whatever I want and be amazing at it. I'm going to face that world BEING MYSELF, in just 3 months. I am not going to let them ruin it for me, they're just going to realize how stupid they were. They've lost me, I'm finished with them, being what they want is dishonest to myself, and I at least owe myself that honesty.
"The sweetest revenge is SUCESS" - they'll see soon enough.
"Being honest with yourself is all that matters, you cannot be what you're not"
"A good actor/actress/performer puts themself first, that's being REAL"
Thank you for listening, it's been a rough day and I am so bummed. But I'll be ok, I promise.
