I remember kind of writing this on a whim back before the reset. I wrote it as an email to my list.

A lot of people loved it. Some even wrote in saying it saved them. I am glad. Hope it helps you too. This is my letter of reassurance to you.

Dear you,

I’m going to be blunt.

I’m pretty annoyed. I’m annoyed that all the victims in the world are not supported well enough. They’re always told to “get over it”, “man up”, “toughen up”, “life is unfair. Accept it” or that “good guys finish last.”

Then all the bad guys seem to have it easy as they get away with hurting people.

Nah.

Let me assure you. Bad guys never get away with it.

A person who has cheated you and stole your money will never find true happiness, for he is chasing money. When one chases money, it will be a never ending path of unhappiness.

So don’t ever think he’s living it up with your money. I assure you, that person is not happy.

A bully who is terrorizing your life is suffering deeply. They do not take pleasure in making your life difficult. They’re feeling a lot of pain inside, a kind of pain they do not even understand. That’s why they lash out on the world.

So don’t ever feel like a bully has power over you. I assure you, that person is extremely angry, hateful, sad and depressed about his own life. Pity them instead, for they do not have the same amount of love you have in your life.

A partner who betrayed your trust in a relationship is not a happy person either. He or she did not find new “love”. They only lost the privilege of being with a good person like you.

So don’t ever feel like you don’t deserve love in life. I assure you, the right one will come. Whoever did not appreciate their time with you will never be as happy again.

You, whoever has wronged you do not ever “win.” They do not have an edge over you. They do not get away with it either.

You may not see it or even hear about it, but everything I’ve said is true.

It’d be nice to see it with your own eyes eh? It’d probably help you feel that much better.
