unexplainable pain. I suffered hunger for days, I barely had shoes to wear which arose some
other physical pains, no clothes and I used to wear peoples old clothes, I remember I had long
hair and I used to wash my hair after 2 weeks so that the shampoo I had shall be enough for a
while for me.
And now one thing I am satisfied with and which makes me sleep in peace at night is that I
never choose shortcuts to solve those issues. I got some advice by some for shortcut solutions
and believe me those shortcuts would have ended me either in jail or made me a professional
prostitute. I didn’t turn in to a drug addict, I didn’t choose alcohol as a solution to my problems
and depression.
Things took a while but they changed because I had faith in myself and they changed for good. I
am so glad of the decisions I made and yes I am thankful for whatever happened to me and I
am also thankful to my ex-husband that he threw me out of his house that night because if he
did not threw me out I would have spent all my life as his salve.
I don’t only want to write about the saddest and darkest part of my life, what I had to go
through and how the society treated me and how my own beloved ones turned their back in to
me because I spoke up I spoke up for my rights but I also want to share how determination,
faith, and hope can change our life‘s as it changed my life.
Life will still have its challenges and it still does challenge me but nothing scares me anymore,
no words, no actions are dreadful to me anymore because I have learned that once we know
our power, our value as a women and our willpower of changing things around us we can do
things beyond someone’s imagination.
