You are a gem so valuable that a price tag cannot be placed on you. Make no mistake about it; you cannot be bought or sold. I wish that every woman and every girl understood that. Never, under any circumstance, let a person place a price tag on you. You are completely irreplaceable. No one in the world could ever replace you, so do not sell yourself short.

           

It is heartbreaking to see and hear of young girls (and grown women) who allow a price tag to be placed on them because of their “secret place.” I am not just referring to street prostitution here; it’s not always about the money. I am talking about women wanting or needing love and/or acceptance so bad that they share what is sacred with men (or boys) who really care nothing about them. Let me be clear: Sex=Love 0% of the time. A man and a woman who love each other are usually sexually intimate with each other at some point, but having sex is not going to create a love that was not there to begin with. When you have sex with a guy because you have a need or desire to feel wanted, you’ve placed an artificial price tag on yourself. Even though you’re not receiving financial compensation, you are selling yourself in exchange for a man’s attention. Ladies, if you have to sleep with him in order to get his attention then you’ll never have it except in the bedroom! That last statement may have been a bit raw, but it’s real. No matter how general the entertainment industry, media, or society has made sex; there isn’t anything general about it. Sex is a very serious issue. Emotional and soul ties are formed when two people are involved in sexual intercourse; not to mention the diseases that one exposes themselves to every time they’re involved in sexual activity. One sexual encounter can radically shift your life in a way that you do not want it to.

           

Your body houses everything that you are. You are not your body, but your body is the dwelling place for all that greatness that makes up who you are. With that being understood, your body isn’t anything to gamble or be toyed with. I know several women have financial hardships, but selling and renting your body is so not the answer. I do not believe for one second that a woman is not more and more broken down every time she has sex for money or out of desperation for affection. I believe very strongly that every time we have sex with someone, they take something from us in some form or fashion. Whether that’s good or bad depends on the depth of the relationship involved. I am not writing this to insult or shame any woman who may or may have participated in any of the things being talked about it this section; I’m writing this to empower you. You need to know that there isn’t any amount of money on the face of this planet that is worth you denying your virtue for. That’s not to say that there isn’t any temptation because there will be plenty of that, but it is never worth it. I refuse to believe that a woman can honestly feel good about herself with strange men touching her and throwing money at her. Get a good glimpse at that picture; it’s like being treated as a caged animal at the zoo. These women are certainly not animals, but that’s how they’re being viewed; like a showpiece. You are indeed a gem to be shown off, but not like that my sisters. A princess does not have money thrown at her while she’s being presented on the throne and certainly is not groped by the hands of bystanders. If that ever happened the offenders would be immediately arrested and more than likely executed. Obviously, we’re not going to literally chop off someone’s head that inappropriately touches us, but we have that same royal value. You have that value inside of you that says you are to be greatly reverenced. Your body is what houses your princess; do not voluntarily let anyone defile her.

           

I realize that some of you reading this book may have been molested or raped. In those cases please believe that you are not any less valuable than you were before those things happened to you. Every girl has that princess inside of her no matter what has happened to her or what she has done in her lifetime. She never goes anywhere; sometimes we can be so numb from things that have occurred in our lives that it becomes harder to feel her, but she’s still there. We have to become in tune with her again and the way to do that is to come into the realization and understanding that we are royalty. Your royalty is not determined by what neighborhood you grew up in, what color you are, what religious denomination you are or what has happened in your lifetime. You are a gem that was molded and cut with precision long before you ever came out of your mother’s womb. No one can ever take your princess away from you! People may try to rob you of your virtue, but they cannot. No matter what goes on in your life, look at yourself in the mirror everyday and say, “Hello, princess!”
