Ever wondered how would it feel like to live a life with a body of East Asians in Southern Asia? I know by words it seems fascinating but in reality, it's as tough as peeling a handful of chestnuts. My life took a distinctive turn from its path when I was only 5 years old I only had to eat and sleep whenever I wanted, what a life it was.
I always pondered the question of 'Does life or fate despise me?' I mean moving out from your own country at a very young age and then trying to settle in a developing country is a nightmare, plus being diverse is substandard. The amount of bullying I had to face is too much to recall. The face which was considered appealing and adorable in its home is now no longer as appealing as it was or it should be. A little pinch of narcissism is fine, right? My life never tried to be lenient towards my little soul. It was as strict as our sports teacher who used to make us stand under hot sunlight just because I couldn't jump the ladder.

Life in Pakistan was pretty much fine until my parents had to move back to Korea to provide for our family and I was left alone at a very young age with my aunt here. The reason why my parents made me study in Pakistan was, that back then Korea lacked up-to-date education, especially the English language. It took great courage for my parents to make this painful decision. Living your whole childhood without your parent is gut-wrenching. Yeah I know, since the beginning my story is kind of depressing, I guess even more depressing than the lagging internet we all experience while watching Netflix but here's the twist I'm the director of my movie of life and I can change it with happy endings.
Now, it's been almost 14 years in Pakistan. I'm transformed just like Power Rangers who suit up for their powers and are ready to fight all kinds of monsters. It's true I was broken, shattered, and crushed numerous times by my 'fate ' during my infancy and I was in agony but now I realize all that suffering and all that distress just made me much stronger and tougher just like bones which when are broken grow back even more stronger than before.
Now, whenever I face any sort of failure I hear a voice speaking, 'Yeah life just got tough, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to spend all your time whining and focusing on what is wrong or are you going to build a ladder and get over it?' This always stimulates my courage and determination, thus helping me move on keeping my head up and being proud of 'Myself'
It’s bizarre knowing the fact that I love adversities now. I consider it as a sign from the space that things are going to turn in my favor. I now mastered how to deal with adversity, in fact not only for myself, rather I can serve others in a way I've never done so before. Without a question, I became that bright light that everybody wants to be around. I can successfully achieve that level of human patience and endurance that I couldn’t years ago.
Now I’ve known this, if you allow adversity to empower you, and you take the positives from it, you’ll rise amongst everyone else like you never have before.
Albert Einstein once said, 'Adversity introduces a man to himself.' meaning until you've faced adversity, you don’t know what your actions, reactions, and behaviors will be. I believe I've successfully unlatched my true potential and I can comfortably deal with my issues.
In the end, all I believe is 'Adversity is the preparation for greatness!' (Andy Andrew)
