Friend:

You do not determine my worth. I'm not going to fall apart if you don't want to be in my life. I'm not going to beg you to stay or to see me for who I am or to give me respect. I should not have to do that. I will not compare myself to anyone. I will not let you put me in place I worked so hard to get out of. I am truly comfortable with you stepping out of my life. Believe that. I know who I am and you not digging it is fine with me.
