Eva Alordiah on why she took a break from her music career
''A few years ago, I walked away from what seemed like a "successful" music career. I was burnt out, and depression had become a constant companion.
My bank balance was barely enough to cover my next meal. If there were an image to depict the phrase "Starving Artist," it would have been my own face.
One day, I decided, "Enough! I got myself into this situation, and I'll get myself out of it." I spent the next three years dedicated to relentless self-improvement:
– improving my physical health
– voracious reading
– nurturing my mental health
– enrolling in online courses
– learning about making money
– establishing multiple online businesses
Looking back, I can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing! Taking responsibility for my situation helped me reclaim my life. Today, my life is significantly better because I had the courage to say, "I messed up!"
