She said she took three years off to invest in herself and has been the better for it.

‘’A few years ago I walked away from a seemingly “successful” music career.

 

I was burnt out.

 

Depression had taken an almost permanent seat beside me.

 

My bank balance was just enough to buy my next meal.

 

If there was a picture of the phrase “Starving Artist”, it would have been my damn face.

 

One day, I said “Fuck it! I got myself here, I’m gonna get myself out.”

 

I invested the next 3 years in relentless self development:

 

– building my body

– reading ferociously

– taking care of my mind

– investing in online courses

– learning how to make money

– building multiple online businesses

 

I look back and I swear I wouldn’t change a thing!

 

Taking responsibility for my shit helped me get my life back.

 

Today my life is so much better because I was bold enough to say- “Na me fuck up!”
