A quick glance at Google will show you that Megan Thee Stallion is trending, but while everyone is wondering who she's dating (it's NBA player, Torrey Craig), can we talk about Meg's renaissance?
From surviving a shooting to losing her mother, Meg has been battle-tested. She endured a very public court battle, been on the receiving end of public shaming, in fued with her record label and other notable artists (*cough* Nicki, *cough* Drake). But through it all, she still stands. Stronger and better than ever.
Here's what Meg has taught me about starting over:
Self-care is the foundation of any comeback
When life hits you hard, your instinct might be to push through and keep going. But Meg has taught me that rest is a crucial part of recovery, and that every one deserves it.
After the intense stress of the Tory Lanez trial, Meg disappeared from the public eye. She didn’t drop new music, or rush into touring, she paused and hit reset. There's beauty in knowing when it's time to retreat, reminding us all that self-care is not a luxury but a necessity.
Believe in yourself, even when others don’t
One of the most powerful takeaways from Meg's journey has been in her unwavering self-advocacy. Standing on business sounds cool on social media, but it's harder than it appears IRL, especially when everyone around you is doubting you and questioning your credibility.
The lesson? You are your biggest advocate. The belief in you must be greater than the beliefs of others. No matter want comes your way. You own your narrative.
Love still exists after everything
After losing what feels like everything, it can feel impossible to start over. But Meg reminded me that even in the darkest of times, you can find joy again. Letting go of the past is hard; however, you can move forward into something even greater than before.
Now, my good sis is selling out tours, smashing records, and dating someone new! Meg has reminded me to stay open, and to always remember that bad seasons are only temporary.
