To the boy who took my joy


Dear boy,

You're not a man.

A man does not hurt women

A man does not manipulate

A man does not use social media platforms to harrass an individual

A man does not make me say #MeToo

A man loves women

A man shows grace

A man encourages 

A man communicates

A man helps me find my joy again, after you stole it from me.

Sincerely,

your object.
