I am, as you are, happy to be part of this wonderful social platform. I am excited to build mutual relationships and establish a firm connection with you. On October 5, 2017, Steemit approved my account. I already wrote my first post and it is just now that I realized that I am missing something here. It is my introductory post.
So here is it! You may call me Xhunxhiss (not my real name), a born warrior. I am a 22-years old Filipina, blogger, self-employed typist and businesswoman.
I grew up in a poor family. My father worked as a carpenter and my mother stayed at home, looking after us. My parent had six children, including me, to raise and their financial state was not good enough for our daily survival. Hence, at the age of 6, I started to do household chores, sell home-made foods and work in the farm. Back then, I didn`t have the full freedom of choice as a child. I was not allowed to go out and meet other children to play without finishing first my tasks at home. I could not buy and get what I want because my parents could not afford it. It really distressed and saddened me to see my family suffer and struggle.
As the years passed by, I became more persevere in helping my parents until I came to the point that I wanted to give up in life. The society taught me that my worth as human is often determined by how much money I have. So I started to have disrespectful thoughts about God.
Everyone wants to have a peaceful, secure and happy life. But I had many problems threatening my joy as human. My parents often fought each night and day because of money matters. They would try to physically, emotionally and mentally hurt each other while my siblings and I were in a corner, sobbing and crying.
I started to feel like I was betrayed by God. I began to doubt His existence and resented Him for not providing me a good life. I often asked, “Why did I born in this world? Why do I have to live in poverty? Will you please show Yourself to me and take my life right now?” But I got no answers from Him.
After graduating in high school, I went to college to pursue Agricultural Engineering but I shifted to Development Communication two years later. In November 2016, I stopped going to school and decided to find ways to help my parents improve their financial state.
I am the woman with school ID in the left.
I visited Google and looked for home-based jobs. My online adventure started first in essay.ph and freelancer.com before I discovered other freelancing platforms. I worked as a ghost writer, administrative assistant and social media manager and became a blogger of an Indian website after some time. My online journey was challenging but fun.
I did my best to cope with life`s challenges but most of them are beyond my ability to resolve. Moreover, I totally turned my back to God and decided to give up because I felt that it was useless and no one could really help me and my family.
One day, I was crossing the road when a car at a high speed suddenly appeared and almost smacked into me. I was trembling, sweating and nervous back then. And you know what? The very first reaction that came into my mind was “I nearly got hit! Thank you, God! Thank you! Thank you for saving my life!” I didn`t know why all of a sudden I was turning to Him. Tears came to my eyes and flowed freely down to my face.
That scene is one most remarkable event of my life.
Now, I understand His ways and I feel relieved. I realized that my efforts to live without His guidance have not resulted to happiness. When I looked back on my past life, I am convinced that God helped me. I acknowledged that I had committed the unforgivable sin but I hope God will spare and forgive me.
That is all. Again, this is xhunxhiss - a born warrior in this chaotic world.
Have a wonderful life!
