With This Finger..I Thee Wed

Dear Formers:

You are the people who have brought us to where we are. Without you I would have had less heartache, but been more naive. I wouldn't have said as many negative things, but seen the world through cloudy eyes. I would have been in fewer fights and not said as many harsh words, but wouldn't have learned as well how to communicate. You are the people that I have to thank. All of the people that have hurt me, told me I wasn't enough, made me think that things in life are never going to be easy, that what I do is always wrong, that I will always have to sacrifice something that I love just to be with someone, I have you to thank. You put me in a place where I just didn't care anymore. You caused me to push people away until someone cared enough to push back. You gave me every reason to be stronger, to not believe the things you told me, to look up and realize that it's not me that has the problem. I pity you. You who are self-involved critical obnoxious "christian" people that go about judging others, Thank you. Thank you for showing me exactly what I don't want. Thanks for making me a person who fights back for what is right. Thanks for putting me in a place where I'm finally able to be who I want to be, and not try to measure up to what people expect.

Thanks to all the formers and Goodbye.
