A social
media user, Faith Amadi, has taken to her handle to share an emotional story
about her life experiences and survival struggles. From what she posted on her
wall, the challenges she had to overcome includes losing her virginity to gang
rape at the age of 17, surviving sudden blindness, and surviving suicide
attempts a few times.
I think her
story is quite inspiring and can be useful to someone hurting out there. This is
what the lady who is from Nigeria shared on her Instagram page, quite touching:
“My doctor
once told me I may not live to be 21; I was 18 then. I had acute liver
inflammation and ruptured appendicitis with hypoglycemia… I laughed. If I could
survive an accident that left me in a wheelchair and crutches for a year at
about 10 years old…
Survive the
emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual pain of losing my virginity at 17 to
gang rape and repeated molestation by trusted family friends. (Well, they said I
could never be happy or loved by anyone except them, I wish they could See Me
Now)…
Survive a
sudden blindness caused by an unexplained spike in my blood sugar... Survive
four suicide attempts (caused by the above), the last an overdose of drugs
which led to the liver inflammation….
Then, I can
survive anything. Needless to say, by a miracle I survived the appendectomy and
my liver healed perfectly. My mom thinks I am a cat with nine lives, a girl
after God's heart. After constantly being in and out of the hospital, facing
near death situations, I can confidently say, I am not your everyday kind of
girl. I have never been normal, but who needs normal when I can be abnormally
me.
I know I am
made to break records, I do it every day. Your future is not tomorrow, it's in
the victories of everyday. You are not your past; you are whoever you think you
are. Think wisely about yourself, for if you say you are a queen, a queen you
are. Our journey in life will take different paths, respect your experiences
and grow with them. It's not always rosy, after all even roses have thorns.”
That was
quite inspiring. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
