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

親爱的讨厌我的人:

感谢你们总是质疑我,试图将我打倒。感谢你们嘲笑我的每次失败,在学业上和生活中超越我时都傲气满怀。感谢你们到处散布关于我以及让我中招的那些可耻恶作剧的所有流言蜚语。信不信由你,那些恶作剧挺有趣的,但你们未曾经历那些,所以体会不到个中乐趣。相反,你们从谈论那些事情的过程中找到了乐趣,这完全没问题,因为我是一个有趣的人。每次我出现给你们当陪衬时,你们那评头论足的扫视、微翻的白眼,其实都是我有些日子中最精彩的部分,我会永远感激它们。

我很佩服你们,竟然知道你们说的有关我的一些坏话可以让我伤心不已。你们真是天赋异禀,能看透我“毫不在乎”的外表,知道我有时候是多么不自信以及他人对我的看法于我而言意义多么重大。有时候我隐藏得不好,你们可以发现,我真的失败或者出丑的时候是多么容易表现出不安。你们挺了解我,真是恭喜了。

老实说,你们并没有获得应有的赞许。试图打倒我并不是件简单的事。坦白地讲,你们真应该考虑把这件事当成一份工作,或许甚至可以写进简历。我说“或许”是因为在现实中你们永远无法将其写进简历,因为你们不可能做到。这件事你们永远不可能成功,因为你们打不倒我!

是的,你们挺了解我,但了解得还不够。你们不知道失败和逆境只会使我更强大。我有时可能会对自己没信心,但这恰恰让我看到了自我提升的空间。你们看到我出丑或做某事失败时收获的兴奋感只会激励我更加努力。反之,当我超越你们取得成功时,我看到你们脸上惊讶的表情,也会感到兴奋。我能说什么呢?我不满足于现状,我喜欢超越预期,喜欢出人意料。你们对我的期待值那么低,这使我很容易就能让你们大跌眼镜。

总体而言,我对自己还是相当满意的,因为很明显你们将我视为一种威胁。否则,你们不会如此讨厌我。你们对我发自内心的讨厌只会说明我很了不起,我在做正确的事情。

就像碧昂斯所说的一样,讨厌我的人,我爱你们,因为你们,我会继续朝着“完美”这个方向努力。再次感谢你们所做的一切。永远不要停止讨厌我。

真诚的
