To all the people who have gotten on my nerves, 
 Thank you.
 You have taught me so much 
 about myself.
 You have taught me to 
 turn the mirror on myself
 and see that same quality 
 in myself and learn from it, 
 so thank you.
To all the people who have hurt me
 Thank you.
 You too have taught me to 
 look at why I allowed you to do so.
 You helped me grow and become
 more aware of where I needed to heal, 
 what expectations I needed to release, and 
 what else I needed to release in my own life, 
 so thank you.
To all the people who have not lived up 
 to my expectations.
 Thank you.
 You have taught me to look at what
 I was still expecting and not aware o.
 You have reminded me of the difference
 between expectation and agreement.
 You have helped me to seek clarification, 
 in those situations where I did not have it, 
 so thank you.
To all those who have helped me to grow, 
 because something you did hurt me, 
 disappointed me, 
 let me down, 
 irritated me, 
 or just got on my last nerve, 
 thank you.
