“You were never too much of anything. You were simply with the wrong person. You were being your authentic self, and rather than being accepted and loved for who you were, you were criticized because you made them feel threatened. Yes, you made them feel endangered with all your beauty and light. Your unwavering opinions hit their ego and made them feel less powerful. Your determination to pursue your dreams made them feel unaccomplished. Your ability to draw the line when they took situations too far made them feel weak. Your beauty, poise, and charisma made them feel insecure. You, exercising your independence and freedom, made them feel replaceable. You see, you were never too opinionated, too determined, too bold, too needy, or too free. You were perfect the way you were. You were shining in all your glory. Your brilliance was too much for them to handle.”
