Big Sean celebrates Jhen Aikos special day. Jhene Aiko Is A Born Fighter Aiko recently came clean in more than one waywith a heartfelt Instagram post sharing that shes been working on getting sober the last few years and overcoming trauma associated with anxiety and self-doubt. ive spent most of my life being extremely sensitive, drained and nervous when around a lot of people and/or multiple energies at once. ive spent most of my life with crippling insecurity feeling awkward and shy in front of cameras and audiences. ive spent most of my life not understanding that my anxiety was causing a downward spiral, self medicating and self sabotage. motherhood, loss, depression, addiction life is a f*cking trip. ive always felt the urge to express myself with the intention to overcome my emotions, and to share those expressions with the intention to help others. Jhen also talked about her journeyto becoming sober and what methods helped her become stronger. In response to the post, her fans showered her with praise in the comments section and also celebrated her well-deserved Grammy nominations. but anxiety, sensitivity, unhealed trauma and feelings of not belonging or ever being enough kept me from fully accepting or being comfortable with any type of spotlight. but little by little, and from time to time i feel confident enough to be myself shy, awkward and ALL and step into the light. over the past couple of years i made a conscious decision to say yes and open myself up to even more opportunity and possibility, despite my reservations. ive spent the last few years getting sober using sound, aroma and color therapy, proper diet, meditation, exercise, etc to become a stronger, clearer vessel of love, truth and light. i will never be perfect, nor do i ever want to be seen as such but when u see me, know u are looking at a fighter. and i know u are fighting too. so when u see me i hope you also see you.
