Haters. You know them, they're everywhere. Constantly trying to mess you up. Consistently doubting you. Their voices echo in your heads and shake your entire world. They have one goal in life and that is to make sure you fail. Hopeless, spoiled, disgraceful, are some of the words that fire out of their mouths like bullets. Except these guns never run out of fire. When you think that you've escaped them, out comes another! You can't run from them. You try to fight back, you try to forget, you try to hide. But, try as you might, it just doesn't work. Even when all the commotion is too much to bear, it gets louder and louder. The sound of your pounding heart combined with the muffling noise of the bullies is too overwhelming. You try to gasp for air and you're shoved back down into the violence and harm. They don't know when they've gone too far and they keep pinning you to the ground, leaving you incapable of accomplishing great things. Your cry for help fades away into the distance and you wonder, when will I be safe?
What they don't understand is that they are hopeless, spoiled, and disgraceful. But, please don't tell them. Instead, show them that they misjudged you. Let them have their moment of power and dominance, because they are completely unaware of their impact on you. They think they know everything about you, like you're some sort of open book. No one can tell you how to write your story. Work hard behind the scenes, by putting in the after-hours, and go for the sneak attack. Think back to when they first started cursing you, and show them that you were the wrong person to be messed with. Show them that they were too busy being shallow and unhelpful, when they should have been pursuing their personalities and humor.
You don't deserve to be treated in such an inhumane way. Think about how amazing and talented the people in our world could be if everyone practiced being supportive and kind. To all the haters, can you please explain to me why you want to be so rude to one another? Because, you're going to be wrong. All of the insults that you fire at your victims, become sparks inside their souls. And once those sparks are ignited, you haters better stand back because I have faith that these people will rise above the stars and render you speechless.
