The past

One of the killers in our society today is "the past". The damage it cost is more than its advantages and it has led to many suicidal cases in our country today some people find it difficult to move on in life after one or more unfortunate occurrences in their lives. Join me as I share my point of view with you on the title of the past.

As human beings, we all have one or more stories to tell about things we had gone through cases we can refer to as our past either good or bad. Individually, we do think we are facing the worst situation which no one has ever been through but if we listen to other people's stories we would realize that yours is the tip of an iceberg. Overcoming these challenges is what some people couldn't make it through in the aftermath of such situations it leads to depression and in many cases, leads to suicide. Living in the past can cause much damage to one's life it leads to stagnation, backwardness, and emotional trauma.

A lady was sharing her story with me about what she went through in the journey of her life and all the damages it has caused her to the limit of losing her life from which she had a narrow escape. I was dumbfounded because I don't want to compound her problems or make her feel bad the only words of encouragement I can utter is "just be thanking God". She was a victim of gang rape when she was in school due to her trust in a friend she trusted her best friend to the point of taking her as a sister you know the slang" my sister from another mother" which later landed her into a deep mess. She and this bestie of hers do things together in common and this assured her that she had found a shoulder to lean on not knowing it was the wrong shoulder. One afternoon her bestie invited this lady to a birthday party in town which she agreed to go to because of the relationship they shared not knowing a plan had been laid out to rape her.

They arrived there with people partying and cheering she felt at peace because her bestie was there with her. Some of their coursemates were present at the party and she was sure it was a safe one not knowing what is at stake. Drinks and food were served they all ate and drank well she was offered a wine she rejected because she felt it might be alcoholic but she was convinced by this same bestie that it was just a fruit wine she succumb to her and drank the wine although it was a fruit wine it was drugged after few minutes she started feeling uneasy then her bestie led her to a room to sleep and immediately according to her she felt the sound of people leaving the party before she suddenly dozes off and this was when they acted out their evil plan. She was raped by four men and when she woke she was made fun of you know how students can be. After the investigations were carried out it was later revealed that her bestie sold her off that was devastating and she nearly commits suicide. She kept this in her mind for a long time and she was nursing the pain for a long time before she was able to overcome this pain.

In conclusion

Learn to move on in life no matter what you have been through that is the only way to be happy don't let your past be your boss don't let it control you instead control your past and deal with it to become a better person.
