Dear Me

Dear Me,

You've got to not let her bring you down. I know it still hurts and some of those wounds never healed, but you're strong. Yes, she was a huge part of your life, pretty much your sister and being betrayed by someone who is family is really like a knife in the gut. But you can do this. You turned into an amazing person and you do have her to thank for that. She made you strong. Even though it hurt and it still hurts, you're strong. Because of her you met some extraordinary people.

And yes I know you want to get rich and famous and rub it in her face and secretly hope she goes broke, but you're a good person. And I know that you still wonder what it would be like if she didn't betray you, if you were still friends and still laughing about the silly adventures you had. But everything happens for a reason. She was only supposed to be in your life for that amount of time. She served her purpose. It's time for you to let go of her.

I know it is going to take some time for you to fully committ to this, but you'll feel so much better once you do. And who knows, karma might not be fully done with her. =)

So let go. You can remember all that you had with her and smile at the memories, but don't let them bring you down. Don't let them have power of you anymore. You've got confidence, you're smart and beautiful. Anyone who says anything different is wrong.

(You're sounding like Gabrielle, pre-warrior. Stop writing to yourself now....stop it!....I said stop!....)
