MY LIFE STORY



Back then when I was a little Kid,life was very hard.Waking up in the morning with nothing to drink or eat in the morning but bearing in mind that you have to go to school no matter what.Those days when wearing shoes was only for the middle class people whom we used to call "those with".Life was sweet and bitter for sure.But one thing that kept me going is that my grandma would encourage me and my cousins that life is not easy and that nothing comes easy and that there is no free gift.She used to tell us that all free things comes with a price.I came to realize her statement to be true now that am a grown up person.Being that I never knew my father and up to today I still Don't know,life was very hard without a father figure but i struggled out.While in primary one of my cousins would sneak in my room to molest me sexually but I never talked it out because I was very afraid.I managed to finish primary and secondary school.Back in 2014 when i went home to where my step dad is,one of my step brothers wanted to have sex with me giving a reason that I wasn't her real sister and when I said no,hell broke loose,he started abusing me but i stood to my stand.Again after that incident I went to visit one of my aunt's,the husband again tried to force himself on me.This was the worst nightmare in my life.I never had the courage to tell any person because I was afraid it might ruin my aunt's marriage so I kept quiet.I've lived my life on fear and my self esteem became low.I have never trusted any person in my life except my grandma whom death took away from me in 2017.My sexual life has been ruined because of what I passed through as a little girl.



Today at least I feel like a little burden have been lifted off my shoulder because I have shared my story



My advice to young girls who might be going through the same things I went through,please talk it out so that you may find help.With me i never talked about it and it is ruining me inwardly but I do believe there's still time for me to find a new turn



There's still light at the end of my tunnel



Now I got a job that's sustaining me and I thank God for that
