Things that i want my daughter to know when she turns Thirteen (Sunday, 14 September 2014)

Polonius:
================================
This above all: to thyne own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
=================================
Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 78–82
.
What I want my daughter to know in 11 years
.
Karate, Taekwondo, how to use a knife, how to shoot to wound, how to shoot to kill, Most Importantly, when any of them is appropriate (no bastard is worth jail time)
.
I do not want her to be a thirteen year old raped at day care like her biological mother, my first cousin, was.
.
I want her to know that there is never an excuse to lie about your age,
if she is the type to be attracted to and approach out of the blue poet loaners ten years older than her, She needs to tell him that she is watching him, and is interested in meeting him when she is  at the age of consent. (waiting three years is better than waiting twenty)
If she lies to him first telling him that she is only Four years younger.
If she lies to him again telling him that she is only seven years younger.
And then he discovers that she is really 10 years younger and he was committing a felony, there is a chance that he might be the type to clean up the evidence, and not the type to blame himself.
.
love is as you find it, Man, Woman, Both, Either, many
Love who you will, Life lasts too long to lock yourself to someone that you don't love
Life lasts too long to not be with the ones you love.
.
.
.
Do what it is you want with your life, What is it that you dream of doing, life is too long to suffer through a soul sucking hell
.
figure out what you need to know to do it
, is it sports (lord god I hope not),
.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM),
.
Teacher, Medic, Police Officer, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Pilot, Marine.
.
Dancer, Artist, Sculptor, Poet, Writer
.
Hell, if you are the kind that can love it and find fulfillment in it... There are a vast number of things that the Religious Conservatives might not like.
Most importantly If any of these things are things that will drag your soul under, stay away from them.
.
Know that i will always love you, and that you make me proud even today.
