This is my farewell to the self-destructive, overly emotional, sad little girl I have become and my invitation to the person who I truly wish to be.
This is my farewell to my father who tried to mold and shape me to fit in his mold.
To the father who told me I wasn't good enough.
To the father who broke me and made me feel like nothing.
This is my farewell to all the bad thoughts I've had.
Farewell to the wounds and scars on my body that will fade leaving little trace that they were there.
Farewell to the nights spent crying instead of sleeping.
Farewell to not being able to look in the mirror without crying.
Farewell to not being able to accept myself for who I am.
Farewell to this unhealthy body I inhabit.

Even as I say farewell to my past and who I am while inviting the person who I wish to be; I will still remember who I was and everything that's happened. It's my story.  how I ended up where I am now and a big part of my life. In the end, I will survive the impulse to forbid happiness.
