Question

Opinions on my memoir? Is it okay?

Answer 1

I was only six or seven when this happened. We have never talked before or after this incident and I have always had weird and bad vibes when being around this dude. Even though it scared me and I felt weird about it, I just shrugged it off, because I just didn’t think he did much wrong. I have never in my life told anyone about this. I haven’t told my mom, dad, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts. It’s made a bed in my head, and I remember that some time after, my sisters and I were talking about how weird this guy was, because he was just all around creepy. I found out that he has had a past with young girls, and that freaked me out and now all I’ve done for years was play the “What if” game with myself. It has been a never ending story of fear and curiosity.

Answer 2

My sister, Angela and her boyfriend, Jamal had invited me with them to a family get together with my aunt, because my granddad was in town. Of course, I had said yes, got ready and we left. We stopped by a gas station and my sister’s boyfriend got me a bundle of four lollipops that were tied together, and he got my sister a red rose that was wrapped in plastic. After he bought my lollipops I thanked him and ate one of them in the car.

Answer 3

When we got there and walked in the first thing I did was scan the living room. The TV was to my right and the couch and coffee table was to my left. Ahead was the opening into the kitchen and there was a corner you can turn to the right. When you turn the corner, to your left is a small hallway where the bathrooms and bedrooms were and to your right was the garage door, which was open because all kids were to stay in there and play. Before sending me into the garage, my sister took me to meet my granddad. We spoke, and took pictures, and that was pretty fun for me. Now, keep in mind that ever since I was young I have always gotten along with adults better than people my own age, I have always been very shy, and I never spoke unless spoken to, so this caused me to have a hard time making friends.

Answer 4

Sitting in the garage, I remember Animal planet was playing on the TV, but it was very low to the point where you will probably only hear one word every ten minutes, and if you’re lucky you would hear a whole sentence being said. I just sat quietly on the couch and other kids were playing on the computer, running around, and ball. Two girls walked up to me and started talking to me and asked for a lollipop, so being the generous person I was, I gave them both one and they ran off quickly. That was a mistake and kids came up to me continuously asking for my last lollipop. I was having a horrible time and I decided to try and find my sister and just hang out with her.

Answer 5

I suspected that she was in the dining room or kitchen, but before walking in I scanned the living room. Nobody was in there, nobody. I was about to walk into the kitchen when someone grabs my wrist and yanks me back. I thought maybe it was my sister and turned around to see it was someone else. It was my aunt’s boyfriend. He wasn’t smiling, and he didn’t look angry, he looked very creepy. I tried smiling at him, but all he did was stare at me. This guy was tall, skinny, bald, and he had one of those mustaches that were connected to a beard. Being seven, I thought that this guy looked like the Grinch who stole Christmas, except he wasn’t green, and he wasn’t very fury either. My smile quickly faded and I tried to get away from this strange dude, and even though we both weren’t talking, you can tell that I was scared and he was just, serious. My heart was racing and I gave up hope of him letting go, so I stopped trying to get away and just stared back at him in fear. It felt like we were staring at each other forever when in reality it was probably for only thirty seconds before my brother walked in with a chicken wing in his hand. He turned to us and I’m more than sure that he saw the fear in my face, because he quickly grabbed the guy’s wrist and yanked him away from me, and pulled me behind him. He told the guy not to touch me ever again, and the guy didn’t do anything but stare. He just looked at me with the same face expression, cold and like he wanted to hurt me.

Answer 6

I quickly ran into the kitchen and dining room in search of my sister, trying to grasp what had just happened to me, trying to make sense of it all. I couldn’t find her anywhere and I rushed out in the back, looking around as I stood near the entrance, my other brother, Steven had spotted me and him and his girlfriend, Raynell had called me over to them. My heart calmed and I quickly ran over to them, jumping into Raynell’s arms and not letting go. She picked me up and sat me on her lap, asking me all kinds of question, “How was your day? What did you do? Are you having fun?” I couldn’t help but sit there and cry. They were confused as to why I was crying, until a kid ran up to us, asking for my lollipop. I blamed it on that, but it played very little of a part as to why I was crying. They gave me a speech about giving other my candy and hugged me until it was time for them to go.

Answer 7

I begged them to let me go, and they told me that I could go as long as my sister was fine with it. We ended up finding her with my grandfather, and she had told me that I could go. Everything is blurry up to the point that I was in my nephew’s room eating ice cream and watching a movie. I remember looking down at my wrist and seeing a small bruise, it made my heart sink and my stomach turn. I couldn’t think of any reasons as to what this guy wanted from me. It haunted me forever, not telling anyone about this. I can finally get relief, and closure from telling it now. I can finally forget

Answer 8

Heyitsebony, thank you for sharing your experience. It's very brave for you to do it.
No wonder it was a very awkward experience; I'm sure it's also kind of traumatic because of what your imagination tells you could have happened. Events like this can be difficult to overcome or forget when you don't have a relieving mechanism.
Thank God nothing happened to you and that you are fine.
My suggestion is to learn from that experience and go on with your life. Take this experience with you as an advise of the care and attention it must be given to our beloved ones.... ;-)
Finally, I thing that most of us must have gone through something similar, but really few have the strength to finally face it and overcome it like you did.
Good luck !!! ;-)
