My Darling Daughter,
I am blessed because I have you as my daughter and you know I love you immensely.
While I believe you must steer your own course, life’s journey is full of twists and turns and can oftentimes be rough. In my humble opinion, you should be open to any help that may make your journey a little smoother.
My dear daughter, since you were a baby I have taken the time to show you by words and action, irrespective of societal norms, that a female child is as valuable as a male child. I have also, hopefully, inspired you to value who and what you are. I have equally encouraged you to persevere despite the obstacles you encounter in the course of chasing your dreams.
For whatever it’s worth, attached to this letter are some of the tips I’d like to pass on to you to help guide you in your relationship with the opposite sex.
- If he tells you that he doesn’t deserve you; believe him.
- If he tells you that you don’t deserve him; take his advice and move on.
- Stories on romance are just what they are – Fiction. Don’t fantasize about achieving anything similar making it shape your expectations. Real life romance is a far cry from fictitious ones.
- Sometimes ending a relationship is far more courageous than staying because clinging to a toxic relationship will destroy your peace of mind.
- Cultivate a heart of forgiveness. Forgiveness is mostly for your own inner peace not a sign of weakness.
- Be vulnerable, and open. Do not be cynical about love.
- Guard your thoughts because they create your reality.
Love you always,
Dad
