Dear Young Woman: Please forgive me.
Dear young woman,
I just wanted to remind you that not all men suck and sometimes you’re better off without us anyways.
Sincerely,
Die Happy Tonight’s Owner & Founder
p.s. I’m a 37-year old man. A man who’s single, never married and with no children. I live in a nice house, drive a nice car and wear nice clothes. From the outside, you’d think I have the perfect life. My life is very far from perfect. I’m a man who’s been lost, who’s hated himself, who’s unfulfilled, often lonely, who doesn’t have it all together, and who has taken his life for granted.
And shamefully...I’ve taken the women in my life for granted.
I’ve paid for the company of women. I’ve used my position of power to manipulate women. I’ve hurt women I love deeply emotionally. My previous relationship even became physically violent. I’ve cheated more times than I can remember. I’ve lied to women close to me to cover it all up. I’ve lied to myself.
Like some lost men do, I lied to myself and put the blame of my shortcomings on others - particularly women. I want you to know, it’s NEVER the woman’s fault for a man to act like a “pig”.
Whenever a man acts less than a man it is due to simply a lack of integrity. Nothing else. Integrity is our guiding principals in all that we do and all that we say. It’s easy to lose our integrity and, thankfully, it’s also easy to get it back. So, please don’t give up on us.
But, I’m here to tell you - you don’t need us.
You don’t need a man to feel loved, to feel beautiful, or to feel wanted. You simply need someone, anyone, to lift you up. To be a POSITIVE force behind you during your journey called life. On this journey, it’s your responsibility to learn how love yourself, love the skin you’re in and to desire nothing more than what’s already inside of you.
You’re a POWERFUL human being. You don’t, and can not, realize how powerful you truly are...yet.
You haven’t lived long enough to know what you’re capable of. Be PATIENT; you have a long life ahead of you. Be FEARLESS. Take risks. Be INDEPENDENT. Live alone. Forgive yourself and FORGIVE OTHERS. INVEST in and LOVE YOURSELF. Once you fully connect with that person inside of you...I promise your ENTIRE world will change.
