Dear Doubters,
I would like to give you all a warm welcome! Are you shocked that I'm doing something positive with my life? Your lack of faith in me used to have a negative effect on me. I once believed everything that you said.
"You're not going to be anything in life."
That was something that stuck with me for a while. Then I thought about it, how can you predict what my future would look like. As far as I knew, you weren't born with physic abilities so you wouldn't know which way you were going to turn next, let alone how my future would turn out.
I do want to let you know that every obstacle that came my way, I overcame it when you thought I would not. I'm sure you're still looking at me with your lack of faith, however, it doesn't phase me anymore.
My future was too bright for you to believe, so I understood why you preceded to dim the light that was hanging above my head like a halo.
"You won't get anywhere without college."
There are plenty of smart individuals who have accomplished things in life that have not been to college. You probably even call them your role models. So what exactly makes me any different from them? Nothing at all. I understand that me being even a hint of successful is something that sounds a bit make believe. And something you can probably not wrap your head around. It's okay!
I just want to tell you all ... THANK YOU!
Thank you for making me feel unworthy. Thank you for making me feel useless. Thank you for making me feel like I would be just another young lady doing absolute nothing with her life. Thank you for knocking me down so low, that UP was the only way to go. Sorry not sorry!
I hope that you continue to look over my life in a negative frame, so that when I reach the point of success, I'll get to see y'all faces of exhaustion for trying to keep me down for so long.
Sincerely, The Lady You Thought Wouldn't Succeed ❤️
