Tuesday was the weirdest experience of my life. On my way to work, I decided to fill up the car at a gas station near the house. Im looking around the gas station, people watching, and a girls summer dress catches my eye. The weather was beautiful and I thought to myself that I need to pull out some of my dresses soon. I look up again and I see a man with this girl, and I am staring at him. Gosh! He looks so familiar! I look at his porcelain white skin, his big ear lobes, and rosy cheeks. Love of God. Its an old boyfriend. Not just any old boyfriend. The worst of them all. For some of you that dont know, about seven years ago, I was at an all time low. I acted like a foolish teen and went to live with my boyfriend in South Carolina. Anything you could think of for someone to do to another person besides kill them is what this person did to me. After having his own mother put a gun to my head, I could not take it anymore. I confided in my coworkers and they helped me escape. I left him with two pairs of clothes and a laptop and was laid in the back of a car and driven down the highway to the Georgia/ South Carolina border to be picked up by my aunt and cousin and live a new life. Since then, I have not seen nor heard from this imbecile, and now, I see him in front of me near my house staring back at me. What do you think I did? How would you react? Well, I can tell you what he did. He looked at the girl with him and pulled her to stand in front of him so I would not see him. A lot of memories rushed through me when I saw him, but the shock for me was that its been almost 8 years since I decided that I didnt want to be abused anymore, that I didnt want to live in filth, and be 300+ lbs anymore, and that one day, I wanted my own father to walk me down the aisle and for my family to be a part of my life. You know what? I think I have come a pretty long way. I think the Ali from seven years would be very proud of me. Im not his prisoner anymore. I am bold. I strong, and I did not survive. I prevailed.
