What makes you think you can have such a hold over me?  What is it exactly that gives you the power to undermine my integrity, when you have so little of such yourself?  No longer will I sit idly by and listen to your lies, your complete fabrication of the truth and expect me to play along with your game.  I will not compromise what I hold most dear to me.  There is no chance that I will let you decide what is best for me when you obviously have NO IDEA AT ALL.  

You wander through this life, or shall I say stumble (a MUCH more appropriate description), aimlessly getting by without any real drive at all.  Go ahead and continue with the theory that the world owes you a living.  Go on - sit and wait for life to come to you.  I only hope that the dismal reality follows you around for the duration of your miserable existence and you are forever looking for happiness.  I hope this, because I am positive that I will be where I want to be.  I will achieve EVERYTHING I set to do.  I will live my life with integrity, knowing the full strength and power of the word, and thrive in my own excellence.  I will forever be content.  I am strong.  I am happy with where I am.

I understand and accept that life has its setbacks occasionally.  Often things try to trip you up, but it is your own frame of mind that keeps you on the path you set for yourself.  It is ok occasionally to fall off the bike.  To lose track occasionally, as long as you keep in mind the bigger picture.  I have done everything I said I would, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

I will not be dragged down by your negativity, your lack of direction or your willingness to cave to idle gossip.  I'm will surround myself with positive people, and you are not going to be on that list.  I have fought much bigger demons than this and come out on top.  This is just another incidence where I will again prove to myself, and to anyone else that counts, my own strength.  What I desire will be mine.  Not far off in the one-day distant future.  But NOW.  My transformation begins of this moment.  

Go on.  Catch me if you can.
