Letters to the Forgotten Your Struggles Do Not Define You: Letters to You, #1

By Lena Ma

"Letters to the Forgotten" is a reminder to those who are struggling with problems of everyday life, whether they are stress, depression, anxiety, fear, heartbreak, etc. "Letters to the Forgotten" helps remind everyone that they are special JUST the way they are, and despite what anyone says, do not need to be constructed into someone they are not. We are all perfect in our own ways when we stay true to ourselves. Our lives are our own; others have no right to tell us that we are not good enough or how we should live our lives. When we believe in ourselves and accept ourselves for who we are, we become the best versions of ourselves. When we stand by the warriors we were born to be, we transcend above all negativity. When we learn to live, we discover that we have much more potential than others give us credit for. We can live and love the way we want when we learn to live and love for ourselves. We are stronger than external forces. Unleash our inner strengths and become our own individual heroes. Never give anyone the power to make you miserable. No one deserves your suffering, and no one is in the right place to exude power over you. When you give that right away, you give your soul away. Your soul makes you whole. Your soul gives a breath of life and optimism to everyone you encounter. If you do not have your soul, if you give your power away to another human being, you have nothing. We can lose our jobs, our looks, our money, even our loved ones, and we can still strive for greatness and prosperity, but when we lose ourselves, we lose our chances at life and happiness. Popularity, success, and relationships mean nothing if we do not have ourselves, our true selves. Do not try to live the life of someone else because it is not worth losing yourself. Do not be envious of the life of someone else because, somewhere out there, someone is envious of the life you have. Do not change. Be the change. Be the one who finally stands up to the hatred of others.

Lena Ma

The world is a dark and destructive place, and the mind is constantly flawed. Through personal traumatic and emotional experiences, such as domestic abuse, infidelity, and hospital-ridden adventures, Lena Ma brings her stories to life by exhibiting raw emotions that plague, not just her, but many others living in this world. "Broken & Abused: The Imprisoned Mind" brings out the painful experiences she encountered while living with a man with Asperger's, a love that was never meant to flourish. "Shamefully Vanished: A Memoir of a Girl Out of Control" documents her years under the grasps of a debilitating eating disorder that robbed her from nearly six years of her life. In one of her most recent stories, "#obsessed: Instagram Destroys Humanity", she explores deep into the dark sides of social media, influencers, and how the Internet is far from what it seems. Her stories come with dark, twisted scenes that reflect the horrors of reality. Happy endings are a thing of the past while the pain of disturbing reality shines. As an aspiring author, Lena hopes to make a difference in the lives of others by exposing the truths of psychological warfare and the manipulation of the modern world.

Prologue

We all know the saying, Never judge a book by its cover.

Sadly, few of us follow this mantra, and we judge everyone and

everything without an attempt to know and understand them.

We have all been victims and perpetrators of hate, criticism, and ugliness.

We have all opened our mouths seconds too soon and have

forgotten that we are human, just like everyone else,

struggling to survive in this world.

Life is difficult enough without the

harsh words of our peers.

We fight instead of love.

We push away instead of understand.

We falsely believe that we are superior to others because of our looks, our status, our upbringings, or just our grandiose mentalities.

We often forget how, without the help of those we criticize, our society would not stand the way it does today, even if it is not apparent at the time.

We forget that, as much as we push people away, it is the same people we push away that want to understand us the
