Dear Ex-boyfriend,
I comprehend it’s been a protracted time since we last spoke—the day you sent that letter that shattered my heart. Since then, I’ve had lots of time to reflect and I desired to share some thoughts with you.
For a few years, you made me feel like I wasn’t adequate. You identified my flaws, criticized my cerebral palsy, and said you were embarrassed by me.
It was tough hearing those words from someone I cared about deeply.
Your words were so powerful that I began to consider them. I doubted my value and sweetness, feeling just like the ugly duckling amongst swans.
But that wasn’t true in any respect. I used to be beautiful then, and I’m beautiful now. It’s just sad that it took your departure for each of us to see that.
After you left, I spotted you were blind to my uniqueness and the special qualities I possess. But that’s okay. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them.
I would like to thanks, though. Yes, thanks. Because despite the pain, you inspired me.
Your actions drove me to want to teach others about disabilities and to advocate for respect and understanding. You’ve grow to be an element of my story, a chapter that helped shape who I’m today.
I’ll all the time remember you and keep a special place in my heart for you, wishing you nothing but the most effective.
But I also want you to recollect this: every woman is gorgeous, irrespective of her shape, size, or skin color. No woman is ugly.
I hope with all my heart that you just’re treating your latest girlfriend with the kindness and respect she deserves. She, like one and all, deserves the world.
Looking back, I see how our relationship helped me grow. I’ve learned to value myself more and to see my value through my very own eyes, not through the distorted lens of another person’s judgments.
It’s essential to me that you just understand the impact of your words and actions. They can hurt deeply, but they also can act as a catalyst for growth and resilience. I’ve found strength I never knew I had.
This strength has led me to latest beginnings. I’ve met someone latest, a young man who sees all of the belongings you couldn’t.
With him, I’ve discovered what it means to be truly appreciated and loved for who I’m.
I hope that you just reflect on our time together and learn from it, just as I even have. Learning to see the sweetness in differences is a present, one which improves not only your life however the lives of everyone around you.
I forgive you for the past because holding onto bitterness only weighs down the soul. Forgiveness has freed me to deal with constructing a positive and fulfilling future.
I’m greater than what you saw in me. I’m strong, capable, and delightful—and my cerebral palsy is only one a part of my incredible journey. It doesn’t define me; it empowers me.
Thank you for the teachings, each good and bad. They have propelled me forward, right into a life full of hope and latest opportunities.
As I move forward, I achieve this with grace and confidence. I even have learned to like myself and to expect that love in return from others.
You taught me what I are not looking for in a partner. Now, I do know to hunt someone who supports and uplifts me, reasonably than tearing me down.
I hope that in your future relationships, you remember the impact of your words and actions. Treat others with kindness and respect—it makes all of the difference.
To anyone else reading this letter who might feel down about themselves: remember, you’re enough. Just as you’re. Never let anyone make you’re feeling otherwise.
May this letter function a reminder to each of us of the expansion we’ve undergone and the brighter paths ahead. May we each proceed to learn, to like, and to live with kindness.
Finally, do not forget that life is simply too short for regrets. We should cherish the teachings and move on with wisdom.
