In the caption, sis got deep, opening up about her struggles with bipolar disorder. I never saw myself making it to 30 growing up, she wrote, revealing that 1 in 10 people with BPD die by suicide, and 7 in 10 attempt it. But Kehlanis story is one of triumph, y’all. She shared how the last year completely flipped her world upside down in the best way, thanks to meds, discipline, sobriety, and her faith in God.
Ive had a crazy life but the last year changed my world, she shared. Kehlani said shes left all her old baggage in the dust and is stepping into her 30s feeling whole, worthy, and ready for every blessing coming her way. She ended with a powerful message, writing, She knows it now. Nothing in the way of my peace, my blessings & my relationship with God…Really happy to be alive.”
Additionally, the ‘After Hours’ songstress shared a list of life lessons shes carrying into her 30s, highlighting growth and clarity. Some of the newfound gems shes sticking by include privacy being a luxury, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should, and remembering that doing the hard thing” is usually the “right thing. Kehlani shared that breaking patterns requires embracing discomfort and allowing personal growth through difficult moments. She emphasized, You cant save anyonedont derail their journey. Closing her reflections, sis humorously noted she’s also carrying the truth about medium-rare beef into her 30s, chile.
