To all the young girls & boys around the world listen closely
to the story that is not a tale.
One day you will see how Life will be your greatest mentor and the
reason why is there will be a few struggles you will face in this life. And no
matter how mommy or daddy, grandparents or siblings try to protect you please
understand life comes with minimum directions and many learned lessons.
So you are wondering why me. The answer is; only life knows how
your true story will be told. And in abusive or sexual situations the adult
stranger, family member or friend will say ''I love you with cuddles and
gifts" in a sympathetic way. But in that moment you may not identify
with what is happening between your legs. Just know this when someone touches
you or ask you to do things to their bodies it’s not ok if mommy & daddy,
grandma or grandpa, uncle & aunt are not around to watch how you're playing
around.
One day a young child innocently played with a familiar face until
the game changed and this person was no longer the same. So this person with
whom this child trusted betrayed their friendship now this child feels alone
and brokenhearted because no one is listening. So what does this child soon to
be grownup do when the stranger is really a parent, family member or friend
that in some situations are invited guest due to your self-choices.
A child was walking home from school as a stranger approached and
seemed "lost" and within a second this child was gone.
A stranger is not always someone you have never met. A stranger
has a different approach when both mommy and daddy are not around to ensure
your smile is not turned upside down.
A piece of candy is great but you could a cavity, a ride home from
mom or dads friends is OK but not unless your parents directly told you
"yes". And if anyone hurts you in a bad way and say's "its
ok" immediately ask your parents, auntie or uncles if this kind of touch
is OK.
It takes one second to communicate through texting. It takes
people years to walk away from unhealthy relationships. It takes 5 minutes to
find a date on social media. It takes a
one-time conversation to share our personal information. It takes 8 to 12 hours
in a day to commute back and forth from work. So why not listen to what our
children have to say even if it takes 1 moment to hear about their day!
