What don’t kill your will heal you

Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hiveghana community. I am so delighted to be participating in this week's prompt topic: brave stories.

Thousands of people out there go through life challenges thinking that the brave and strong life they say is not fair; it has a way of throwing people off balance. There are some challenges one will face; to such a person, it’s the end of the world. If we can calm down and look back at how strong and brave we were, we will be able to overcome those challenges of life.

I never knew I could be this strong and brave until I was able to overcome the toughest moment of my life. It was not easy at all, but I am grateful to God that I was able to pull through the moment I lost my dad. That was the day life showed me pepper; everything turned upside down, and life became so tough for me. You need to see how frustrated I was during that period; life was so hard at that moment. It seemed that everything was going south at the same time.

Back then I had nothing to do; my whole life depended on my dad. All hope was lost. My dad was planning a beautiful future with me, but his death spoilt a lot of things for me. Many dreams were buried the moment he died. It seems like every dream and hope faded away the moment he gave up the ghost. I doubted myself; I thought I was not going to survive it. Every single second I was thinking about my dad. My dreams and hope vanished immediately. I lost my dad.

It surprises me how I was able to put myself together after the loss of my dad, although many times I feel his absence. During the period I lost my dad, I was in my final year at a high institution. You all know that the final year in university demands money, and I thought that I would pull through. I will not believe it, but my actions and discussions made me realise how strong and brave I am. I told myself that I will finish my education no matter what it will take. I started working as a sales person to be able to sort my bills. There was a lot of insult and maltreatment from my boss, but I have to be strong and brave for me to achieve my aim.

There were times I felt like giving up. I am so happy that I didn’t allow it to break me down. I am grateful I was able to overcome it. Looking back at how far I have gone, I always smile. That is why it is really important to be brave. One thing about this experience is that it changed my mindset of how I see things. I realised that I am strong, and I have not been giving myself the credit for pushing through and surviving after I lost my dad, who was doing everything for me. It helped me to stop self-doubt, all thanks to this experience that helped to reshape me. Yes, I am super brave and strong.
