Influencer Nadia Jaftha took to her Instagram during the early hours of Monday morning to open up about her feelings.
Nadia Jaftha breaks down in Instagram video: Here’s what we know
As per Daily Voice, Jaftha woke up at 04:44 on Monday, 19 September 2022 and started recording her message. In the video, she holds her phone up to the camera which shows the time.
Nadia starts off by saying:
“I woke at 04:00 with this heavy feeling on my chest, I needed some of you to hear this message, I just felt the need to make this video right now.”
“I know it seems that I’m talking from a place of privilege so what do I know and what can I say, but the truth is that you never know what someone else is going through, you don’t know the battles they have and I wish that I could divulge in some of my battles and struggles,” she said.
The actress explained that even if one person watched her video, it would “be okay”.
She said what was important was that people should remember that “everyone is fighting a battle” and “trying to navigate through life with as much ease as possible”.
Over two minutes into the video, an emotional Jaftha teared up and continued:
“Just know that everyone is fighting a battle so it’s so important to be kind to each other. If any of my friends are watching this, please don’t wonder why I didn’t say anything to you before.
“I hope you guys can understand that I just felt the need to make this video for anyone watching, that is feeling overwhelmed and stressed, financially strained, misunderstood, bullied, stuck in a constant loop they can’t get out of, I want to remind you to keep the faith, I knows its easier said than done and who am to say its going to be okay,” she said.
The video concluded with Jaftha telling viewers to steer away from posting negative feedback on her breakdown video.
“I don’t know if I’m completely embarrassing myself now and I don’t really care, I just hope that the people who understand why I’m making this video hoping this message gets to you.”
