Subject: A pyschopathic rant from a better ex

A few week's back, I recieved a not so "subtle" comment from a not very secret poster. 

It was mean. 

I published it, because, well, everyone is entitled to their opinion.  And because it pretty much validates everything I wrote about this person in my "Dating Diary".  It grated at me for an hour or so, I commented to my Canadian BFF and soul mate about it in a text before I left for work.  By the time I got there I had pushed the incident from my mind-moved on-but still I cringed for a couple of hours everytime I opened my inbox.

And then, there it was:

Subject:  A pyschopathic rant from a better ex

Dear Jenna,

You are fucking amazing. That's right Blondie, you heard me. You Rock. How dare you have all those brains, ambition, humour, writing skill in one C cup package? You mean that you work hard and get everything you deserve? GAWD! And you write with a great honesty and humour that has made random strangers on the internet reach out and think you're awesome? Where did that come from? Did you steal it?

So you have a huge brain that you apply to work friends and everything else? Whatever. I've got one too. I just decide to use it for other more important things. Like knowing inane celebrity factoids. Totally more useful. So much freaking better then money management and supply chain logistics.

Wait you think you're beautiful? You get hit on by strangers? You have exes that can't get over you? (this is really more that you're too nice of a person to break their heart but we'll get to that later) Who cares that your confidence and awesomeness shines through and lights you up. Only great people care about that! And really only Canadians can see it that clearly.

And the niceness. Gawd that makes me sick. Why don't you just grow a set of balls and start being douchey to everyone. You have a great bitch face. Use it for more then letting people know you're hungry and hungover. it's a complete fucking waste of a fantastic bitch face. Only you would not find it in you to make other people's lives worse when a smile is so much easier and prettier.

So today, when you're upset and hurt by what one brain damaged asshole douchebag of the #th order wrote to you, I want you to put that aside and think 'Fuck it, I'm awesome and people who truly are the best in the world think I am the best in the world.' Do it! I'm DEMANDING it!

Love not withheld,

Your Canadian

I felt such a wash of love and gratitude wash over me; because I have the most special, witty, loving, kind people in my life--who take the time to show me that they care.

They inspire me to be a better friend, and now I want all of you to take the time today to tell someone you love all the wonderful things about them.
