you inspire me.
in some ways, you make me feel as if i'm not living up to my potential. you make me feel as if you won out b/c you act as if you're on top, but i know the truth. you aren't on top and you never were. even when you make me feel worthless and below you, i know the truth: i have it all. i have a loving boyfriend who would give anything for me, and who i know i will be spending more time with then you have ever spent with a guy (so far). i have a best friend who supports me in every way, and keeps me going when times are tough. i am the proud confidante of another best friend who's first thought is to call on me, no matter what news they have. i have the best family - that, at least, i know YOU know already. i am ON my way in school. i'm not there yet, but i assure you, i'm ON my way. i'm writing this knowing that you'll never know, nor will you ever care, but i'm also writing this knowing that a part of my strength comes from you. you taught me the value of trust, you taught me how to push, and you taught me that the only way to take revenge is to prove that you're better off for whatever happened. so now, when i look at who you are today, i may feel the effects of your success, but i know that i can be just as successful if not more, just as talented if not more & just as beautiful if not more. don't underestimate me, i will surprise you.
