Dear Avia,
I see you have ignored my last letter. I assume it is because you think this is a joke. I assure you this is no joke. You are being physically and emotionally abused and you need to tell someone so they may help you sort this hot mess! I am not kidding. It's time to let someone know. And if you don't tell someone, I will, whether you like it or not! I'm going into big brother mode here because I love you. This situation is very serious and is proving to be dangerous, thus, it should not be taken lightly. This scenario can possibly hospitalize you, or worse, kill you! How can you not see the severity of your situation?!
Not only that, but I am also becoming increasingly concerned about your state of mind. You're not your normal, cheerful, creative self anymore. Instead, you're now depressed and distant, it's like I don't know you anymore like you're a complete stranger. What happened to my favorite little girl? Yes, I know you're 16, you're not a baby anymore. But that doesn't give you the right to treat yourself like dirt! Why do you do this to yourself?! You're beautifully and wonderfully created yet you say you're worthless, stupid and that no one cares about you. That's not true! GOD cares about you, your family cares about you, your friends care about, I care about you! Don't you realize that?
But it doesn't end there, no! You don't just tell yourself, and believe, the same horrible lies that your bullies tell you, but you have given up on the very thing that gave you joy! Art! Why would you do that!? GOD gifted you with extreme talent in that field, you've created wonderful masterpieces, crafted elegant designs and you greatly enjoyed it! Why would you give all of that up? Remember that bright future I said you would have? If you give up art none of that will come to be. If you continue down this path it will lead you into a whole downward spiral! I don't want that to happen to you. I want you to be happy. I want you to be successful. But, with the way you're continuing through life, that may not happen. Please don't do this to yourself.
Look, I'm going to be completely honest with you. I'm scared! I'm afraid of what's going to become of you if you don't do something about this constant abuse at school! I don't want you to get hurt! But I trust that GOD will take care of you in your time of need. I know you don't think you can make it through this rough patch, but you can! I know it seems impossibly dark right now, but it's always darkest right before dawn! I beg of you, don't give up on yourself! Because, no matter what, GOD won't. Did GOD give up on Jonah when he didn't go to Nineveh the first time? No! Did GOD give up on the Israelite slaves when the Pharaoh of Egypt wouldn't free them? No! Why would He give up on you? He wouldn't. He and I are always here for you, He and I will protect you, we promise to protect you!
Here, I noticed you don't have a Bible so I jotted down some verses of encouragement for you.
Proverbs 18:10
"The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."
Isaiah 41:10
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Remember, I am always here if you need to talk. I'm just a letter away.
Love, your affectionate guardian angel,
Jack
