Sweetheart there will be many stumbles in your life along the way. When I first meet you, you were this cute shy little ball of energy. Your inquiry into knowledge was astounding, and I just knew you would go on to do great things. Seeing that you had already had one strike against you when I meet you at 10, (a broken family) I still seen that spark. When I married your mother I gained you and your family as my own and that sweet little girl as well. As a father you have no idea what it is like to set back and watch your little girl grow into a woman. But the advice that I have given you I gave you to better yourself, not to hinder your growth, but to learn from your mistakes and grow into a healthy smart young woman.
But along the way you will run into people who will lie and use you to make themselves feel better about their own lives. These people have no concept of love or caring they only use. These are the kind of people that when I was growing up a father would take them out behind a wood shed and teach them what it was to be a man. Fathers have always been fiercely protective of their daughters. And I do not see that changing anytime soon.
What I am trying to say to you is I Love You My Angel, and I can see you becoming anything you want when you put down the childish things in life. (When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.) Corinthians 13:11. This is applicable to you as well. What is being played out in life is not life at all it is a game, and girls these days are being used as tools for others to game the system. You will know when someone loves you because you will be his and only his priority not someone else. There is not such fantasy where a man can love two people at the same time, it is just that a fantasy, his. And the only people that get hurt are you and the other party. He on the other hand could care less. When he needs you or her he sheds a tear and you two come running.
I would like to think I have had an impression on you in your life, and most of all you have a wonderful family that loves you and a Nana that thinks the world of you,and me and your mom who would do just about anything for you. But the change in your life has to come from you. "What the hell am I doing? I am better than this." "I deserve better than this".
You have to first love and respect yourself before you attain that peace you are looking for. You will have to find it in yourself before you see it in someone else.
I Love You My Precious Angel.
