A female Facebook user in Nigeria took to social media and made this statement: "your life is what you make of it". She then went on to tell the story of her life. According to the story,she was abandoned by her mother at the age of seven months. Her father and stepmother were left to take care of her. Her stepmother (now late), subjected her to all manner of malteatment. Many times, she underwent starvation. She would go without food, not just for hours alone but days until she saw death staring her in the face. On one occasion, she was hungry that she had to eat the leftovers from their dog food which she was supposed to dispose. So their neighbor's son saw her eating the dog's leftovers. Then the young man told his mother about it. That evening, the boys mother invited her over for questioning to clarify if what her son saw was true or not. She was scared and begged the woman not to tell her stepmother, because if she did,she would be beaten up severely.when the woman learnt of her plight, she promised to assist her with food everyday; this was a promised she kept until they moved out from that accommodation, without her stepmother's knowledge.
Apart from starvation, she also went through capital punishment. She said she was flogged mercilessly severally until she fainted. Her stepmother applied pepper on all parts of her body including her private part, ampits,neck,eyes. She was sometimes abandoned in the toilet in the house for hours without food. She was forced to pray often for death, but it didn't come.
Despite all she went through, something good went for her;she was intelligent and liked education. She knew within her that it is a sure way out if all her troubles for her to be successful, so she took her academics seriously.Today, she is a proud and beautiful lawyer. She is living her life devoid of all the PAST! Rather, she chose to embrace positivity, forgiveness, kindness, peace and love. We all have a past and we all have struggles! Many, if not all, had an ugly past. You must never allow the last to drown your tomorrow because your life is your message to the world.you must make sure it's inspiring!
The young lady of today's story became a lawyer out of her ugly past. She refused to be negative!
Please put your past behind you; forgive those who hurt you or despised you.
You can only achieve something when you set your mind to, don't let one ugly past disfigure your life. Shapen your life into whatever you want it you be.it all depends on you.
Just know that the past can't hurt you anymore unless you allow it, so make your life count.
