The question always remains in my mind, In what type of person I would be if the things that have happened to me in the past never happened.... Would I be the same person I am today? I feel angry at the people in my past who have betrayed my trust and hurt me I often wonder why they did those things? did I deserve it? I know I didn't but still the question remains if it didn't happen would I be a better person ? Even though I am have strong dis likeness to the people who have molded my mind and personality and my views on life .
When I was younger I used to watch shows like "rescue 911" I loved this show the police made me feel safe and the dispatchers I admired them, they were always there to answer the calls for help I wanted to be that person.. I didn't get to become what I wanted I became so sick from the things that had changed my life from the sexual abuse from my step father, than my biological father I had attempted suicide at the age 10 I spent several months in hospitals for treatment I spent a quite a bit of time in and out of hospitals throughout my pre-teen life, I didn't return to public schools until my middle school years...
I knew after the time I had spent time in the hospitals that I wanted to do something that helped people I wanted to work with the police, I did get the opportunity to work in the "Police explorer program" with my local police department it gave me a whole new aspect of respect for the police in what they do in the mean time it helped me stay straight in high school that was my goal ideas in life were to serve my country in the US Army and work in the military police and then work with my local department in my home town...
As I sat in my classroom in high school I remember a discussion about foreigners I remember myself saying " I will never ever marry a foreigner" I had a very ignorant aspect of those from different countries I was happy that I was making my family happy by doing what they expected me to do.... little did I know that many of those things would change, after 9/11 I was ready to serve in the military that was my push of encouragement I needed to join the Army after high school I remember training with them and during my 2 mile run I got sick at that time I learned I had asthma and had an asthma attack as I was finishing my run and learned that I'd no longer be allowed to join the military.
After the 9/11 I started to make friends then never did I expect myself to ever become Muslim let alone live in another country 15 years later I'm now living inside of Saudi Arabia, I always wonder what would had happened if I had never met my Saudi friends would I be the same person I am today? where would I be if the things didn't happen to me would I be Muslim ? would I be living in Saudi would I be happier?... I know one thing the struggles that I had dealt with did teach me many things that no university can teach you, which is that the people in life even the ones you call family can hurt you and can not always be trusted but the people who are not blood can become more than family, I have met so many amazing people in my life that have taught me things that I will carry for ever, and the people that who've betrayed me have taught also in to be cautions in who you trust and to be careful in the life...
My mind is always full of "What Ifs" but If I had never been through the things I went through I know that maybe I wouldn't be who I am today, am I always happy? no I still face a lot of ups and downs and struggles that always makes me wonder what if that didn't happen would I be happier I just hope now since the past is the past and can't be changed that the new things to come will make me happy so I can never wonder about my past and be able to help others who may struggle as I have after all helping people is what I enjoy..
The things you say are one thing, but the actions you do are what matter more than your words, words are comforting but when actions don't match your words than it only breaks the heart and mind so do be kind you don't know the life they've lived everyone handles things differently so be kind it cost nothing to listen and to be kind.💕
