Denola Grey’s Heartfelt Message
Top blogger and media personality, Denola Grey got emotional with us via his Instagram, sharing a New Year’s message he’d received from a follower.
Sharing a snap of what he received, the star said;
“When I read this message it moved me in a way that I couldn’t understand . Before I started creating my space in the world, my prayer to God was that, should I be given the opportunity to do what comes naturally to me, I would hopefully inspire at least one person to believe in themselves and revel in their individuality.
Every day is a battle, but if you can see past the fog and realise that your power is in your uniqueness, you CAN and WILL pull through. Please never forget that. And to anyone struggling with depression or even suicidal thoughts, please talk to someone you trust about it. You are loved, the world would never be the same without you. Keep that in mind this New Year.Much love, always
PS. I have express permission to put this up . I value everyone’s privacy”
