More than a decade ago, something happened to me that troubled me for many years and never shared with anyone. I want to share this story with you my friends. When I was doing grade 11, one day coming back from school a certain lady who was older than me said something that nearly ruined my self confidence. She told me that I am ugly and no man would want to date me, You can imagine being a teenager with raging hormones and living in a society that a woman is measured by her beauty. I became so troubled that I would look myself in the mirror everyday before going to school and because I was having natural hair, her sentiments seemed to find space in my life. For a long time I walked around carrying her words in my life and those words pushed me to work hard and excel in everything I do. I told myself that I must work extra hard that if no man would find me beautiful as she said, at least will find me attractive by my confidence and ability to express myself. I pushed myself hard because of her unpleasant words, Today I woke up feeling that is time to forgive that lady and I want to look her in the eye and remind her of her words and tell her that I forgive her and thank her for making me realise that I am capable of excelling in life. Thats my story.
