Rebecca's Mistakes
If I would have known then what I know now...
Dear Daniel,
It has been many years since I have passed and I have had some things to say to you for quite some time. As you I'm sure know, you were my escape from my mundane life. I was crazy about you, irresponsibly crazy about you. My life at home with my husband was wretched and I was completely dissatisfied. I was young and dumb and I was consumed by confusion and angst as I drove back and forth from reality to fantasy. I mean it was a fantasy with you right? We never had a chance because you were not over your ex. What chance did I have when your heart was somewhere else? My journeys were melancholic and stressful, but nonetheless I have written you to clear my legacy. I do not want to be known as the childish girl who perished in a horrific accident. I want to take my tragedy and help others. I have learned so much over the years and have come to realize that women's empowerment, specifically loving yourself, precedes any man who does not treat a woman right. I want women to know that they are in charge of their own destiny, not anyone else. You don't have to feel hopeless and if I would have know then what I know now years after my death I would have realized that I was a beautiful young woman and that I should not settle for anything but the most amazing guy. Why did I feel like the world was going to end during my journey days when I was unhappy in my life? Why couldn't I take a step back and appreciate all of the amazing things that I had going for me? Daniel I want you to know that women are more than sexual objects. I am sorry that you had your heartbroken before me, but I was more than a sexual object at your disposal. In the future I am going to find ways to spread positive messages to women in similar situations as I was in. I want them to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel if you just step back, take a breathe and think clearly. My motorcycle accident denied me that opportunity to make things right, but that doesn't mean that other girls have to make my mistakes. I hope that you were able to find a kind woman who cared about you as much as I did and that you treat her with respect. Women are half of the world and we are powerful beings. That is if we can come to the revelation that we deserve nothing than the best. I hope you have found happiness as I have found inner peace.
Best,
Rebecca
