Overcoming Hardships and Finding Strength Through Sports
I am Hamid. I once had a family and a stable job, but everything changed overnight. A few years ago, I left Afghanistan with my family, but due to personal difficulties, we became separated. The pressure of a hard life on the move caused my family life to fall apart. Now, I find myself alone, constantly attempting to cross borders. Not everyone can withstand the challenges and obstacles we face. I admit, I am not proud of certain moments during what I call my “dark period,” but I refuse to give up because giving up has never helped me. For now, I focus on playing sports to channel my unrest and anxiety into something useful. I hope that one day I can look back and be proud of myself.
Prevazilaženje teškoća i pronalaženje snage kroz sport
Ja sam Hamid. Nekad sam imao porodicu i stabilan posao, ali sve se promijenilo preko noći. Sa porodicom sam napustio Afganistan prije nekoliko godina, ali zbog ličnih problema smo se razdvojili. Pritisak teškog života u pokretu je razdvojio moju porodicu. Sada sam i neprestano nastojim preći granicu. Ne mogu svi izdržati pritiske i prepreke sa kojima se mi suočavamo. Priznajem, nisam ponosan na određene trenutke iz onoga što zovem moji „teški trenuci“, ali odbijam da odustanem, jer mi odustajanje nije nikada ništa dobro donijelo. Za sada se bavim sportom kako bih kanalisao moj nemir i nespokoj u nešto što je korisno. Nadam se da ću moći jednoga dana da se osvrnem na svoj život i kažem da sam ponosan na sebe.
