[ WP ] Write the letter that you always wanted to , but never did .

Dear you, 
 
 I've always meant to write this letter to you, but I was never able to really put it all together. We've gone through a lot together, to say the least. 
 
 I guess I just wanted to say thank you, for everything. For your generosity, for your openness, your pride, your confidence. I truly admire you as a person. 
 
 In this world, there are many different types of people. I always believed in a world of people who truly want the best for others. Before I learned that I was a little naive, I believed in a world that lived together. As humans placed here on this planet together, with the best, the shining examples of our race claiming brotherhood and kindness for all, how could one not believe them? 
 
 This is n't the truth. Quite the opposite in fact. 
 
 People are hateful and selfish. They will lie and cheat and steal just to better their own situation. The entire world is drowning in themselves, and the worst will climb to the top by pushing your head under the water to keep themselves above the surface. It's easy to succumb to those who are only here to ruin you. You know that better than most. 
 
 You know, but you never embraced that thought. 
 
 Of all the adversity you faced from the first day of your life, you could have blamed your troubles on the unfairness of the world. You could have closed yourself off from the world and never taken responsibility for the life you were given, but you did n't. 
 
 As much as you struggled, as much as you had to fight, giving up was never an option to you. You've always known inherently that the problem was n't with you, it was with the world. It was the defining characteristic of your personality. You looked at everyone that ever doubted who you were and knew in your heart that they were wrong. While everyone was busy tearing each other down, you built yourself. You built the person that everyone is envious of. 
 
 You have always known that you love yourself. It's the source of the world's envy. 
 
 It's why I love you. 
 
 Some souls are chosen from birth to face the awful side of the world because they are stronger than others. 
 
 I just want to thank you for creating something beautiful with the adversity that nature posed against you. For creating you. 
 
 I also wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was n't as strong as you. 
 
 I should've stood beside you. I should've taken a stand. I should have done so many things for you that I was never capable. 
 
 But when I found myself, 
 
 When I realized who you were, 
 
 When I was finally able to stand with you against the opposition, 
 
 When I believed in us, 
 
 You never even considered if I was worthy. 
 
 I am a vengeful person. I remember every one of the persons in my life that ever mistreated me, but when I came to your door looking for what you had all along, you had forgotten I ever wronged you. That's why you're the greater person than I. I thought you would remember the worst of me, the part of myself I ca n't leave behind. But you did n't. 
 
 On the contrary you opened yourself to me. You're so closely guarded... you have a right to be too, but you let me in. From the first day you let me in. The side of you that so few see, you let me in so easily. You saw more in me. More than I believe I deserved. It's why we are what we are to each other. 
 
 From my experience with the world, people are hateful and selfish... but a person? A person is kind. A person is generous. A person is forgiving. 
 
 That's who you are. 
 
 From my experience with the world, there is a reason there are so few great people. From the hate we experience, the anger, the worthlessness others feel that is thrown onto us, only the few great rise above it all. 
 
 Only few recognize the truth in the world. I recognized you. You recognized me. 
 
 Thank you, again. 
 
 Sincerely, me
