I know a lot of young women are suffering. I know a lot of you are lonely and want a companion. I know a lot of you have been told and shown lie after lie. Some of you have been abused by every man you've known, from fathers, to uncles, cousins. I know you wonder why no one protected you and kept you safe. I know some of you have mothers who never told you that you were precious and beautiful. I know some of your mothers knew bad things were happening to you and turned away. How can a mother do that? I don't know.
So many of you are settling for so so little from men. If he just looks at you, you swoon. If he texts you once a week, you go weak in the knees. I you believe that you are worthless and that all you have to offer a guy is the cookie. If you believe that all men are dogs anyway so why even wait for a good one. If you believe no one will ever really love you...I want you to know that it is all a lie. Please believe that you are worthy and precious and beautiful and deserve the life you dream about. I don't know many of you but I want you to know that my heart aches when you settle. Whether you have a man or not you must believe that you are still perfect just the way you are. Do not allow any man or woman to define your worth. You are your keeper.
Please take the time to discover the truth. Please believe the truth and do everything you can to lift yourself up out of the cycle of bad men, disappointment, suffering and hurt. Lift your sights higher. Pray with all your might that God will help you erase the lies. Pray for the truth. The truth is that no matter what has happened in the past, no matter what you have done in the past, you can always start anew. When you wake up tomorrow look in the mirror and say, "Hello beautiful, you have a wonderful day, you deserve it." If someone tries to holla be discerning. Think to yourself, "Is this the kind of man who will get how precious I am?" If not, smile and keep it moving.
Hold your head up high, fill your mind with good reading, treat your body like a temple, surround yourself with good people. Turn away from the bad, turn toward the light, and begin anew.
