“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us” (Herman Hessee)
After looking up the word Hate I had some trouble with this entry. Like most individuals I've used the word hate often but never knew how heavy duty of a word it was. It was difficult to select someone as a candidate seeing that I've never felt that much intense hostility towards another person before. Yes, people have caused me heartache and hurt but I've never Hated them. If I had to write this letter to someone to fulfill this challenge, I would choose myself. There was a moment in time when I was disturbed by my actions, my sense of fear, and anger. I was injured and refused to be repaired. No one would of guessed the feelings I had brewing inside. I was a wounded by emotional vampires. Familiar situations paralyzed me. I allowed myself to become the dumping ground for negative energy. The stranger peering at me in the mirror caused my blood to boil. Thankfully I was able to recover from these feelings of self loathing. I constantly strive never to visit that dark place again.
Affectionately yours,
Beautifully Flawed
