THE UNSPOKEN CHRONICLES: NINA'S STORY 2

Nina sent in the remaining part of her article last night.. Saying I was and still am speechless is an understatement, you see when I shared my story  I wasn't sure anyone else had gone down my road, I was scared I'd be judged but I shared anyway. When I spoke about lesbianism I had butterflies in my tummy, but this part of my friend's story made me realize my sharing was worth it. Nina never mentioned this to me, but I shared on unspoken, she read and now she's sharing. Please leave your thoughts and say a prayer for Nina.
Love Opeyemi!


So he was gone from my life, okay, but so was my innocence. At a tender age I enjoyed watching movies with sex scenes, loving the sensual pleasure it gave me. But just one problem, I couldn't do it. Or so I tot. I was 6 yrs old and playing out side with my friends when a neighbour called me, I went to meet her and she asked me to go with her inside her house. I did, she said to lie down which I did, then she had sex with me.
"Ahhh....,so there is another way" I thought to myself, So I began to share my new found knowledge with my friend and also my sisters. That bad. Then I went to boarding school and it all came to an end. No neighbours to do it with, thing is, deep down I knew it was wrong and I had to stop. So I started pretending. I had to be a role model for my siblings, what did I do? I studied hard to distract myself to no avail, needed to relive myself. So I resorted to masturbation, thinking all manner of pornographic thoughts I could imagine.
   I knew it was bad and eating me up slowly, I needed help. That's when I launched a silent war against the male gender, seeing no good in them, seeing them as people who sought to exploit the weak and simple minded, so I hardened my heart and built strongholds so no one could come close. I was angry at how my innocence was taken away from me forcefully, each time I gave in to the temptations I hated myself and the more angry I became. I started to drift, separating myself from society, shutting out contact with anyone. This went on for 8 yrs and no one could understand me so I had little or no friends at all and was very distant from my parents. That was okay for me.

It was a difficult time for me and it wasn't easy for me to begin to trust people, especially males but am learning, still growing and by God's grace I will overcome. Thanks for staying with me.
Nina.

  1. The most powerful thing you can ever do for your life is to forgive those that hurt you.

    That's the kingdom response even though it is painful.
    And always be ready to forgive.
