Don't throw your future for the world (#170)
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.
My name is “Susan” born and raised in the capital of Sierra Leone (Freetown), this is my story.
Susan was the name given to me by my parents after my birth, my name was inherited by my grandmother.
The mother of my dad, according to my dad, that name was given to me because my dad loved his mom so much.
He transferred all that love to me, my parents loved me so much that they did not want me to struggle for anything in life.
When I went to high school, I met some bad friends who taught me how to take harmful drugs into my system.
When I was growing up, I hated seeing people take harmful drugs, but friends turned me into something I never wanted for myself.
When my parents noticed me, they tried to discipline me, I had to run out of the house.
I thought I was hurting my parents because I was the only child, I forgot that I was hurting myself.
I ran because I never wanted to change and fulfill the dream of my parents.
I chose to go out and live a free life that was worth nothing but cost me pain and sorrow.
I dropped out of school and became a drug addict, my life was very miserable, and I lost my value as a woman.
If I don't have any money to buy drugs, I do steal or prostitute to satisfy my nature as a drug addict.
I turn slave to my own self, live a beautiful place I should call a home but bad life has blocked my sense of thinking well about my life.
There was a time when I was tired of the street, I wanted to quit it, but the thing was in me now, I couldn't resist.
Street taught me a life I will never forget, after living in the street for over five (5) years I decided to go back to my parents.
They were sad to see me the way I looked, but they thanked God for my life, seeing me choose to come back home for good.
Moreover, to be a better woman, giving them that dream result they always wanted for me to achieve greatness and come true.
I clubbed all my past five years on the street, stealing, and drugs but today I choose to be a woman of value.
I am using my past experience to change others, there is a saying "who feels it knows it".
I encourage all youth out there to stop choosing bad things for themselves, we all have a brighter future if we choose to change.
Everyone needs second chances, I will need you who is now on the street taking drugs, and prostitution should stop and make a U-turn.
Learn to love yourself and respect your body, because your body is the temple of God.
