Adesewa shares: This is a follow-up to my last post on UNFILTERED where I shared a little of an important part of my life. Thank You UNFILTERED for being a real platform for real stories. To everyone…I mean every single person who liked the post and also left a comment and even also shared their own real stories, thank you. To those who also sent me private messages, I’m super grateful. It is good that I shared the story but it is better that I say a few things about it. 

The first reason I granted the interview is because I knew it was time to share. I know a lot of times we have a story to tell, but it is usually great when you have grown to realise the fullness of it and then go on to share with an audience. Until a story is full, it won’t do its work. Think about how if Jesus Christ hadn’t died, I’m certain there wouldn’t be any point reading the Bible because there’ll be nothing to find succour in. 

The second reason I shared the story is because I know a million and one people didn’t find it easy asking me, “What happened to your leg?” I’m grateful for the people who have over the years summoned the courage to ask. In a huge way, it helped me grow too. Thank you. 

I hope that through my story: 
1) Someone can understand that it is okay to have struggles but it is foolish to not want to get to a point of positive resolve even if you’re still in it. 
2) Someone will appreciate the art of pushing a little further, believing that even when it looks like God isn’t doing what you wanna see, you can see the bigger value you have on the inside.
