I'm Not Sorry

My poor girl, I wish they would've taught you different, but instead they taught with insecurities on their shoulders, falling onto yours. You shouldn't be ashamed of your body, or the thoughts of others. Those who think thoughts, are accountable for their thoughts, alone.

I wish people wouldn't of tried to hold you back because they were too afraid you would climb higher than them. People you thought were supposed to humbly guide you, were treating you as a prisoner. They used God and religion to keep you from questioning anything, yelling loud, while God was trying to tell you he loved you. The Universe was reaching for you to be original, it needed you in a world full of pretenders. The Universe, the World, needs girls like you who aren't afraid of digging deeper to make your dreams grow bigger. People want to tell you what you should be, because they don't want to have to adapt anymore, they are content with their lives, the lies they have to tell others to keep themselves afloat.

Sorry, but I am glad this happened to you, girl. Because it made you dig deeper, I feel if your mom wouldn't of left, and others wouldn't of put you down, that you would be weaker than you are today. That the littlest of things would've destroyed you, if you hadn't already been destroyed. I think you needed a big destruction, for you to see that even a crack in the foundation can grow. You had to be treated this way, so that you could raise your daughter in the best way. You know how it feels to be looked down upon, therefore you teach her to always be kind. You know how it feels to be left, so you teach her to never run away from any situation, or bad feeling. I think people had to ridicule you for your past, so that your daughter can see her mistakes are a guide, not the path. I believe you had to look down most of your life, so that you could show her how to hold her head high. I think you had people tell you "NO," so much, to teach your daughter that NO ONE can stop her. I believe people laughed at your dreams, so that you can show your daughter, anything is possible.

Whenever you look back on your life, little girl, just remember these things didn't happen to you, because you deserved them. They happened to mold you into the Warrior you are. So that you can teach future Warriors to be stronger, humble, and not to fear the fall.
