Young lady unstoppable



Life is a journey full of ups and downs good and bad dark and light. All we need to know is who you are regardless of what others think of you. First be a self pleaser before making sure you step out Be confident in who you are Do not ever define yourself by what others think of you negatively.

years back I grew in an environment where I lived in fear, pressure and awe always trying to avoid to make people angry, always accepting wrongs that o didn’t do just to stay at peace with others while I go back to my closet and cry myself to sleep for things I didn’t do. I’d be counting my words in a conversation being afraid to hurt and this is the reason I never expressed what I feel as pain inside due to fear of being misjudged and screemed at

I would literally have a lot to say but feel so unsafe saying because I had been made to know my words are fruitless and senseless

my own siblings would use my weakness as opportunity ground to lay their faults on me I would accept things I didn’t do just to please them to stay at peace with me Later working their punishment myself

there came a time where I learnt of self esteem and being bold and equal with everyone. I began learning from Community educators on Gender issues and girl child welfare which really got me changing. I would stand up for myself no matter who is against me. I took strength and wore as a garment and later became a voice that was fruitful, full of sense and my own siblings now knew there was time to change and that was my time. That made me a fearless person that I have been today.

mom grateful I overcame that and while I go through life’s journey I face whatever I face with boldness.
