Dear haters,
Thank you for always doubting me and always trying to bring me down. Thank you for laughing at all of my failures and being filled with pride when you outshine me in school and, I guess, life in general. Thank you for spreading all gossip that there is about me and about the shameful tricks that I got into. Believe it or not, they were pretty fun, but you wouldnt know since you werent there. Instead, you found amusement in talking about them, which is perfectly OK since I am pretty entertaining. The judgmental glances and the slight roll of the eyes whenever I graced you with my presence were actually the highlight of some of my days, and they will be forever appreciated.
I am impressed that you know that some of the negative things that you say about me can hurt me on the inside. You have a talent of seeing beyond my “give no shits” exterior and know how I am insecure about myself at times and how the opinions that others have towards me can mean a lot. Sometimes, the hiding that I do fails and you can see how easily bothered I am when I do fail or make a fool of myself. Congratulations, you can read me well.
Honestly, you do not get the credit that you deserve. Trying to bring me down takes a lot of effort and quite frankly, you should consider it a job and maybe even put it on a resume. I am using the word “maybe” because in reality you will never be able to put it on a resume due to your lack of success with it. You will never be successful at that job because you cannot bring me down!
Yeah, you can read me well but not well enough. You fail to see that failure and adversity only empower me. I might be insecure about myself at times, but my insecurity only leaves room for self-improvement. The thrill that you get from seeing me make a fool of myself or fail at something only inspires me to work harder. In return, I receive a thrill when I see the look of surprise on your face when I outshine you and succeed. What can I say? I dont follow the status quo and I like exceeding expectations and doing the unexpected. Your low expectations of me make it pretty easy to continue surprising you.
For the most part though, I am pretty satisfied with who I am because it is obvious that you see me as a threat. Otherwise, you wouldnt hate me so much. Your genuine hatred towards me only serves as an indicator that I am amazing and am doing something right.
Like Beyoncé, I love all of you, my haters, and I will keep on working towards being “flawless” due to you all. Once again, thanks for all that you do. Never stop hating.
Sincerely,
Me
親愛的討厭我的人:
感謝你們總是質(zhì)疑我,試圖將我打倒。感謝你們嘲笑我的每次失敗,在學(xué)業(yè)上和生活中超越我時都傲氣滿懷。感謝你們到處散布關(guān)于我以及讓我中招的那些可恥惡作劇的所有流言蜚語。信不信由你,那些惡作劇挺有趣的,但你們未曾經(jīng)歷那些,所以體會不到個中樂趣。相反,你們從談?wù)撃切┦虑榈倪^程中找到了樂趣,這完全沒問題,因為我是一個有趣的人。每次我出現(xiàn)給你們當(dāng)陪襯時,你們那評頭論足的掃視、微翻的白眼,其實都是我有些日子中最精彩的部分,我會永遠(yuǎn)感激它們。
我很佩服你們,竟然知道你們說的有關(guān)我的一些壞話可以讓我傷心不已。你們真是天賦異稟,能看透我“毫不在乎”的外表,知道我有時候是多么不自信以及他人對我的看法于我而言意義多么重大。有時候我隱藏得不好,你們可以發(fā)現(xiàn),我真的失敗或者出丑的時候是多么容易表現(xiàn)出不安。你們挺了解我,真是恭喜了。
老實說,你們并沒有獲得應(yīng)有的贊許。試圖打倒我并不是件簡單的事。坦白地講,你們真應(yīng)該考慮把這件事當(dāng)成一份工作,或許甚至可以寫進(jìn)簡歷。我說“或許”是因為在現(xiàn)實中你們永遠(yuǎn)無法將其寫進(jìn)簡歷,因為你們不可能做到。這件事你們永遠(yuǎn)不可能成功,因為你們打不倒我!
是的,你們挺了解我,但了解得還不夠。你們不知道失敗和逆境只會使我更強大。我有時可能會對自己沒信心,但這恰恰讓我看到了自我提升的空間。你們看到我出丑或做某事失敗時收獲的興奮感只會激勵我更加努力。反之,當(dāng)我超越你們?nèi)〉贸晒r,我看到你們臉上驚訝的表情,也會感到興奮。我能說什么呢?我不滿足于現(xiàn)狀,我喜歡超越預(yù)期,喜歡出人意料。你們對我的期待值那么低,這使我很容易就能讓你們大跌眼鏡。
總體而言,我對自己還是相當(dāng)滿意的,因為很明顯你們將我視為一種威脅。否則,你們不會如此討厭我。你們對我發(fā)自內(nèi)心的討厭只會說明我很了不起,我在做正確的事情。
就像碧昂斯所說的一樣,討厭我的人,我愛你們,因為你們,我會繼續(xù)朝著“完美”這個方向努力。再次感謝你們所做的一切。永遠(yuǎn)不要停止討厭我。
真誠的
我
