I always thought slavery was something that you only read about in books, shaking your head and imagining what the victims went through. Not until I became one.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒙𝒆𝒅; all you need to do is to not give up. Some might say if you run out of patience, try long suffering. Aren't they fruit of the spirit? This story tells about a girl named Uyai who was force to marry at a young age as a collateral for her father's gambling debt. Before her unfortunate marriage, her family treated her as an outcast, a stain to the family and a black sheep. Blaming her to be the cause of her mother's death, Who died while giving birth to her.

ALONE✅ by khayr_Souf

Fear sometimes, many times, creep up my spine and settles into my skin. I fear so many things in life. Death, snakes, the dark, clown with eerie smiles, an uncomfortable silence and being watched without knowing. All these are things, however that grip my soul with minimum intensity. The one thing that gets a strong hold of me, that closes down and crushes the walls on me is... the feeling of being alone. Not just the absence of a person that loves me, not only the death of a loved one but the soul-jacking fear of my whole being that engulfs me even when I am in the midst of people. The fear of being abandoned, of being left behind, of not understood, of being enclosed in a bubble no one can burst. The fear of looking down at my hands and knowing no one will interlink with them, of having thoughts no one will hear, of gulping down panic because as much as I am here in the midst of people I know and love, no one will take a step forward to assure their presence. The fear of being alone.

Behind A Smile ✔ by deey_jah

On the verge of tears, she smiled. ~~~~~ "I have noticed a thing about you; you don't like being treated like a lady. You prefer being treated with force - like an animal. Am I wrong?" He smirked. That is because I am already used to it - she thought. ~~~~~ Read the story of Bilal, an abusive husband and Zynah, an eccedentesiast! - a woman who hides her pains behind a smile. Behind the smile, is a story you would never be able to comprehend. Completed - 22/4/2020

Healing Ivan Wattys2015 by suckerforfictions

I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.

MY YEARS WITHOUT YOU by EvieeGenny

"What's happening?, why are they taking you away? Say something already!! Please say something" I broke down in hot tears as I dragged him trying to set him free from their grip.

The other woman's DAUGHTER by Harunafaree

Maryam never had a say. Although her situation wasn't her fault, people never fail to rub it in her face. If she was a child out of wedlock, she wouldn't have been sad. Atleast she'd be paying for her parent's sin. If she was an Almajira, she'd still lift her head up high and accept what ever the world threw at her, atleast she would still be paying for her parent's sin for throwing her out into the streets. If she was a prostitute, Heck! she'd stand proud and tall, atleast it was her decision to sell her body to men. But, she was neither one of this things. She had lost her father, a day before she was born. Her mother got married to someone else a week later! That marriage came with a whole lot of burden. A burden she was subjected to by her gullible mother. A burden she had no choice but to embrace.

AMAANI COMPLETE ✔️ by jiiddaahh

As the end came out beautifully, My start was beautiful, Indeed my name AMAANI is a whole meaning My life,experience,love for a Diary is now shared with my partner, As he ride all my pain away in love , Idrovehimtoanewworldinlove, It started all ugly, And cleave with sorrow to aching hearts. With a final wave, all disappears Beneath the hush of silent tears At first I thought, Why can't sorrow be so kind As to hide away and stay confined? And leave us only thoughts of bliss, Of joyful things to reminisce. So I focused not on sorrow,born Where forlorn times but now are happy, But instead of misery and trial, And pleasure all felt without relent And with all the love to fill our hearts, Sorrow and pain then soon departs. some life stories sound incredible,some sound like fiction,others will make your mouth pop open in unbelief,life they say have its ups and downs but with AMAANI'S life she has only seen sadness and grieve right from a young age.
