I want to thank you first and foremost for being who you are. It is funny to consider how there are so many people from so many walks of life and in each and every one of us, is ‘you’. I wanted to bring that individual tree in a forest of trees aspect forward first because I will write this to no one in particular. This blog is not intended for any single person specifically and is not being written with anyone in mind.

It is for all, intended for the masses, it is a message for the tree and written in such a manner that we can all use it. It is written so that it sounds like it is written with you in mind even though it is not you specifically. As you read it and if it sounds like it is for you, it probably it is. So here goes.

Dear You,

GET OVER IT ALREADY!! For too many years you have been asked to take others into consideration when you fly off of the handle but you don’t. You continue to put yourself and your needs before others. Get over it already. Anger has only isolated you.

Do you remember all those people that I spoke of at the beginning of this blog? Every person on the planet living today, every person that has lived on this planet before you, we all make up the forest and we have all grown and stood up like you have, like you are doing. Now here is the part that you might ignore when those around you are trying to help you but your problems that you might think are your problems alone? We have all gone through it at some point or we will all go through it at some point as well. You are not alone no matter how much you want to be, no matter how much you don’t like who you are or what part of society you belong to, you are not alone.

The fucking world and Universe do not revolve around you. Get over yourself already.  You have qualities worthy of being recognizable but you disregard those qualities and dishonor yourself as soon as you let your anger get the better of you. It does not do a body good at all to let anger and stress be the governing forces in your life. You are hurting yourself whether you believe it or not.

Now I am sure that your loved ones, those around you and in most cases, that one person who will never give up on you has been trying to tell you this but you are set in your ways and you won’t listen. You need to hear this. You need to give up on your anger. You need to get over yourself, get over what ever the hell it is that causing you to be so fucking miserable. You need to get out more. You need exercise. You need a lot of stuff and honestly, what you really need is to just accept that shit happens, that it will happen and regardless of shit happening, you need to recognize that you have people in your life that want nothing but the best for you.

So You, I hope you have taken my words to heart. If you were sent to this blog via a hyperlink, do not be upset with the person that sent it to you. That person is probably one of those that will not give up on you. You are blessed to have someone in your life that will not give up on you.

Now of course that brings me to someone else who I feel I need to say something to before I get back to you, someone who might use that guise of being the person that doesn’t want to give up on you but is actually just looking for another way to boss you around…

Hey bossy person,

GET OVER YOURSELF! [now start over at the top and every time I speak of anger, change the wording to reflect being bossy and controlling. There are other people in the world and your controlling nature is not doing anyone any favors, least of all is you]

Okay back you You again. As I said, if you are here because someone wanted you to read this, you are blessed and lucky to have someone like that in your life. There are people who are truly alone and have no one in their lives at all. Well guess what, they are most likely people who have never given up on their conviction to make everyone around them miserable. If you want to be left alone, if you want nothing to do with people that want to help you then you are truly missing the point. You need to talk to a professional perhaps and try to regain that part of your life that was happy. For some and I am guessing most, that is supposed to be your childhood and I know that there are parts of your childhood that are truly memorable and happy just as there are unhappy parts.

This is true for each and every person that you know or are aware of. Our childhoods do shape who we can become as adults. “…who we CAN become…” I wanted to emphasize that CAN part because while it seems like your issue is so large that you can never get over it, you are not alone and I don’t know why you resist that knowledge. What is it that makes your problems more important that those who love you? Sorry, I got a bit carried away there for a second. I was talking about our childhoods and how they shape our lives as adults. How they have the potential to shape our lives.

No matter what happened in our childhoods we have the choice as adults to let that govern our lives and hold us down or we can choose to get over it and be free in the knowledge that no matter what, you have the choice to be happy and that it is possible.

So You. I want to thank you for being you. I want to thank you for reading this and if you feel I wrote this for you in particular? I didn’t. It was written for each and every person that has had a bad day or a bad decade. Okay, more so for the people who have had a bad decade because truly you need get over it.
