My dear daughter,
The lover you deserve will never have you second guessing what you are to them. If you are wondering about your place in his life, there is no space in his life for you at all. If he has an ounce of wanting for you, remember that an ounce is not enough. Do not ever cling onto an ounce. Growing up, you were used to settling for bits and pieces of love from your family, but they do not define your worth.
"Your father doesn't pay the bills," was the response to you asking for anything, even though he was half paralyzed in an island just a few hours away. That, my love, is not love. I am here today to cut those strings loose. Those who loved you in mere ounces will not have a place in your precious space today. Not your mother, not your sister, and not ever the idea of a boy.
My love, you are my daughter. You mean the world to me, and I am here to remind you that your mother loves you like you are her queen. You are my queen, and queens do not settle for bits and pieces. Only ever settle for the boy with oceans of love flooded for you, the one that is compatible with you, and will cherish you.
Do not ever forget that men exist in different corners of the world, places you have not set foot in. Have faith in the plans that Allah made for you, and wait for your king.
I repeat. Do not ever settle for ounces. That's not queen behavior.
