Dear Narcissist … Cheridan Smith Photography

Dear ___________,

You hurt me and guess what? You don’t get to decide you didn’t. When you hurt someone you can’t blame the other person for feeling. There is no such thing as loving too much. Not every single thing that happened or happens is my fault. Yes, I’m not perfect but newsflash, neither are you. I love you and you weren’t and aren’t able to accept that. So if there’s anything or anyone I truly have to apologize to it is my soul. I both apologize and forgive myself for continually putting your desires and wishes before my own. I forgive myself for “settling” because at the end of the day I wasn’t honoring my mind, body, or soul by being with you. You intentionally hurt me to make yourself feel more powerful. I stopped reacting the way I originally did thinking you would stop if I didn’t retaliate but you got meaner and pushed further. You even got physical. All of these things are your flaws so I am done apologizing to you and now apologizing to myself. You hurt me so many times that I’m writing this and now I feel nothing. I never want to be the girl who feels as little as you.

Thank you for the lessons,

Cheridan

P:S: I want to prove to you that I am the things you say I’m not, but eventually that will fade and nothing will be left between us. I know I am enough. I am all the things you told me I am not and MORE:

  1. I am kind
  2. I am loving
  3. I am giving
  4. I am pretty
  5. I am considerate
  6. I am more than enough
  7. I am smart

You are so bitter. Choose to be better. Bye.
