An Open Letter to Ex: ‘I’ve Finally Gotten My Confidence Back’

You weren’t out of my league. I was out of yours. I wasn’t the one who wasn’t good enough for you.

You were the one who wasn’t good enough for me. You couldn’t accept me for who I was. When I took you the way you were.

So now here I am a few months later. My hair is past my shoulders. My hair is bright red. I’ve got a new tattoo. New piercings. Started wearing makeup again. I eat whatever I want whenever I want and weigh 135 pounds. I still have my stretch marks.

And I’ve finally gotten my confidence back. I finally see myself looking back at me when I look in the mirror. It’s so hard for me to come out about this and admit that I became so vulnerable because of one guy. Something I always said would never happen. It’s humiliating to even think about how low I got. But what gives me the guts to come out about this is the fact that I overcame it and I’m finally back to who I really am.”
