To the 17 year old girl who hit on my husband,

I'm not angry or hostile towards you. I don't want to abuse you, call you a hoe, or put you to shame. I feel compassion for you, I want to help you, I want you to know that you are beautiful, and you have so much potential. 

You've seen him in the shopping centre he works at as security. You've playfully flirted with him, and he's been polite but also given you no signs of mutual interest. Today you found him on Facebook and messaged him. You opened up to him about how hard life has been towards you. He genuinely wanted to help you, and he being married to a counsellor and being very caring by nature, just wanted to help you. 

However you then outright flirted and sent him an inappropriate photo of yourself to him and he immediately blocked you. 

I want you to know that you remind me of myself so much. You might be feeling lonely, no one to love you, no one who puts you as priority, no one who appreciates you, no one who tells you they love you, no one who takes care of you. However, I hope you learn, like I did, that you don't need to sacrifice your self-worth, you don't need to give a part of your body, and in conjunction soul, in order to receive what you crave. 

You are young, and you are still finding your place and yourself in this vast world. You are strong, but you can be stronger and better. I hope you grow and find the tools in life to self-actualisation, and I hope you learn that you have far more potential than you currently can fathom. You don't need a man to feel love, you just need to love yourself and find yourself. Then will you be able to healthily accept another persons love and give back.

With Love, 

The Stranger Who Cares For You x
