To Whom it May Concern

TO ALL THAT HAVE WRONGED ME:

This is my offical resignation.

I AM DONE.

I am done being the scapegoat, the doormat, and the naive "nice girl".

I REFUSE.

I refuse to be used, abused and manipulated any longer.

I will not tolerate any lies. I will NOT tolerate disrespect.

I am done being the one to blame for other's wrongs. I am done being the one to carry the load and the burdens that other's have placed upon my shoulders.

I am DONE carrying everyones karmic luggage.

From this moment on...

and all moments that follow.

This is me, handing you, your luggage back.

Good luck at TSA. Good luck with the FEDS. AND most of all, good luck facing down my ANCESTORS.

I have played the role. I have "done my time". I have been the steadfast patient one. I have held out hope that things could somehow change. That they could be better. I hoped that you all could get better. Be decent. Have empathy. Have compassion.

None of you wanted things to be "better". You just wanted me to be homeless and helpless and everybody's fool.

You wanted me to lose everything that I worked for. Everything that I built. Everything that was rightfully mine.

NOW IT"S MY TURN.

It is my turn to thrive. It is my turn to get ALL that is owed to me. IT IS MY TURN to live MY DESTINY.

You all hoped that you had kicked me down enough times, to never get back up.

You all hoped that I would die there, at the bottom of the well.

You hoped that I would starve. You hoped that you had beat me down enough, to have no will to carry on.

You all hoped that you could kick me down, spit on my face, and brow beat me to death. You wanted me to pay for things I never did. You wanted to take everything from me and leave me for dead.

You hoped that I would be forgotton.

Well I have breaking news.

I GOT BACK UP.

I got back up. I wiped the blood from body and the tears from my face.

I got back up, stronger and wiser than before.

I got back up and now, NOW I REFUSE to be silenced.

I'll no longer let you keep me in chains, rotting like a decaying corpse.

I'll no longer be the one you shame.

I'll no longer be the one that you lie about, because of your own guilt.

I'll no longer be anything more to you than a distant memory.

The memory that has long been fading.

The memories of me, sweet, innocent, so eager to be the best version of myself and give my all to every situation.

The happy, delightful, animated child who just wanted to be loved.

The smart, kind, fun friend that was willing to go above and beyond.The one that tried to be the best friend that anyone could ever ask for.

The dedicated, loving, loyal partner; that admittedly you NEVER deserved.

The strong, inventive, "hard worker"; the one that you all mocked and took advantage of.

The memories of me, willing to help you, when no one else was there.

The memories of me, the one to check on you, when no one else cared.

The friend you always wished for. The friend that you never had, didn't know existed; not till you met me. Then when you knew I only had good intentions, you went our of your way to stab me in the back.

The person that would stand by your side, when no one else showed up.

The now haunted memory of me; seeing the best in you, when all you were, was a coniving, greedy snake.

The memory of me that haunts your dreams. The memories that I had penned for a beautiful future, that you tried to take from me. The non-stop fear to fall asleep, because I never deserved what you all have done to me.

What you TRIED to do to me.

The memories of your own guilt and your own shame.

The memory of my trusting heart; in which you calculatingly deceived.

The memory of me; a snapshot stuck in time, of my smiling face, hoping for once that this time you were different.

The memories of me, that NOW haunt ALL of your dreams. And your waking hours.

I RESIGN from my place in your life as the person you "wrote" me out to be.

I now write my own story.

I tell my own tales.

I decide who gets to be a character in MY story.

I decide MY FATE.

I DECIDE MY DESTINY.

This is the last moment that you will have any hope that your twisted plan will work on me.

This is the last moment that you have any hope of redemption.

Years and years, I hoped, I wished, I prayed, that I could just have a normal life. I wanted to just co-exisit and be my loving happy self.

The person that everyone saw as an easy target.

Easy to lie to. Easy to manipulate. Easy to hurt.

But you ALL were wrong.

I am not any of those things that you "wrote" me out to be. I AM NOT the person that you assumed was weak, and stupid. I am not the person to lie down and be used as your doormat or footstool. I am not the loser that you have told so many people I am.

In fact, all those things you said of me; those are true reflections of you.

And now, tell me how does that feel? That everyone knows, the true villian was you.

Never again will I accept punishment that I DO NOT deserve.

Never again will I be the person you use for your own personal sick games.

I AM NOT YOU, I AM NOT like you, and I never will be.

And to be PERFECTLY clear, you are not and never will be ME.

This is where we say goodbye.

P.S. You really should have treated me better.
