I don\u2019t really remember whether I was four or five. I don\u2019t remember,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1328\">She recalled that after their deaths, life became extremely difficult for her and her siblings, forcing them to rely on relatives for basic needs, including food.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1480\">According to the content creator, the children would frequently visit one of their aunts whenever they had nothing to eat, hoping she would help them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1548\">\u201cWe would go to my aunt constantly asking for food,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"q2tlyg\" data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1593\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1593\">The Statement That Changed Her Life<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1785\">Shorn said that after repeated visits, her aunt eventually became frustrated and told the children they needed to stop acting as though all hope had been lost because their parents had died.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1879\">Reflecting on the incident, Shorn said she understands why her aunt reacted the way she did.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"2123\">\u201cAnd I understand her because she is human and maybe she was tired. One day she was like, \u2018You children are too much. Stop being like it\u2019s God who has died. It\u2019s your parents. God has not died, so you guys will figure it out,\u2019\u201d she recounted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2248\">Although the words initially hurt her, Shorn said they later became one of the most important lessons she has ever learned.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1go1ysf\" data-start=\"2250\" data-end=\"2280\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2280\">A Motto Built on Faith<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2282\" data-end=\"2422\">The influencer explained that she transformed her aunt&#8217;s statement into a personal philosophy that has guided her through life&#8217;s challenges.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2424\" data-end=\"2634\">\u201cI said, damn. So it does not matter whether your parents have died. It does not matter whether you don\u2019t qualify enough or whether people don\u2019t support you. It does not matter, unless they kill God,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2636\" data-end=\"2813\">According to Shorn, the phrase serves as a constant reminder that as long as God remains in control, there is always another opportunity to keep moving forward despite setbacks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2959\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\u201cAs long as there is God, you get a chance to wake up every morning and keep grinding.
