After crowning Miss Phek 2019, Shefüvi Pfithu shared her happiness despite so many trials and problems that she encountered in her life.
“Exactly 6 (Six) year down the line, life has been frustrating, yet a miraculous experience I go through,” she said while addressing a press conference at Hotel Japfü on October 8, called by Vogue Entertainment Nagaland.
She said that six years back was when she realized “I wanted to grow strong but I lost my daddy who was the most supportive person in my life. That very day onwards, my mourning was so painful. I knew and I promised myself I wanted to feel and learn what true happiness was. Then slowly I saw my Mom growing stronger and I see my sister been supportive as well. I always wanted them not to be discouraged so I tried to keep myself composed in anything I do.”
18 years Pfithu from Matikhrü village of Meluri sub division of Phek district said that when she stepped into teenage (16 years old) she was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer.
“I was so broken, my whole family was scared and afraid, astonished in hearing my health problem but it was not the end there, my family supported me and we proceed with my treatment,” she said.
Pfithu said that she was so afraid “not because of my health but the expenses that will procure all throughout my treatment but God was and is always gracious and provided everything that me and my family needed.”
As a human being we faced lots of unending issues from financial instability to personal family problems and society’s criticism as well, she said adding some were of the opinion that I was cursed!
“Many had discouraged me in the course of fighting the disease and in no time insecurities and inferiority develop over me. I started counting my flaws and I totally forgot my commitment to live a strong life yet miracles continue to happen and God is always there for me,” said Pfithu who is presently studying at Pranabananda Women’s College, Dimapur.
Pfithu said that she started to develop the passion of exploring herself from within her and started sharing what she have, to the people who need to hear her.
“I realized I have the desire to be a beauty Queen and so I started off my journey as a young inexperience with lots of brokenness in me and I step forward one step closer to my dream. Every day every session I felt God and His beautiful creature continuously supporting me,” she said.
She expressed gratitude to Vogue Entertainment Nagaland, the organizer of Phek District Beauty Pageant for providing a platform to her.
She said that each day she was gaining more confidence and building more passion in wanting to share “what I have then God really did it for me.”
“My first journey concluded so well and I believe everything is for the best. Each day I m been reminded by my Mom that God never gives us the burden too heavy to carry and yes it is very true indeed,” she said.
My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God and to the people for all the support and encouragement, she said.
