My Cinderella Journey Through Life’s Heartbreaking Choices

“Sometimes the hardest choices lead to the most beautiful destinations.”

👠 A Life Not Chosen

As I shared in my last blog, I often compare myself to Cinderella. Not because I ended up in a palace, but because I had to suffer first—just like she did—before I found a life I could call my own.

While some people are born with silver spoons, I was not one of them.
I was born into struggle.
A life I never chose.
A life I wouldn't wish on anyone—not even my worst enemy.

🌧️ Struggles That Shaped Me

Growing up, I had to make choices that weren’t always the best.
But they were necessary for survival.

By the time I was twenty, I was already a mother of three.
The father? One of those painful decisions.
But my children?
They were and still are my greatest blessings. They gave me purpose. They became my reason to fight harder, to do better, and to dream bigger.

“I didn’t have much, but I had them—and that was everything.”

✈️ The Opportunity… and the Pain

Then came a chance.
My sister in Norway offered me an au pair job while she went to school. A chance to earn better, to provide for my children.

But like most opportunities in life—it came with a cost.

I had to leave my children behind.

It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. I was blessed to have my mother and sisters take care of them, but it didn't take away the pain of that first goodbye.

“Tears streamed down our faces. Our hearts were stretched like balloons, ready to burst.”

💔 The Cost of Hope

To anyone working abroad—you know.
You understand the pain of leaving your heart behind to chase something better.

You smile at strangers.
You work hard.
You send money.
But a part of you remains back home—waiting.

That was my choice. My sacrifice. And I’d do it again, because love makes you brave, and hope keeps you going.

🙏 Faith: My Greatest Lifeline

Even at my lowest, I wasn’t alone. I saw God’s hand in my journey.
He comforted me when I cried myself to sleep.
He strengthened me when I had no energy left.
He sent me people who helped me when I needed it the most.

Believing in God has been the best choice I’ve ever made—and that’s one decision I’ll never, ever change.

🌈 The Dream That Keeps Me Alive

My dream is simple:
To be reunited with my children and build a better life together.

A life where I never have to make such heartbreaking choices again.
A life full of peace, love, and togetherness.
