As she approaches her 39th birthday, gospel artist and media personality Size 8 is reflecting on a journey that has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. In a deeply personal message to her fans, and particularly the Kenyan youth, the singer has shared a poignant life lesson that cuts through the noise of social media: “Life is not a race, and your timeline is uniquely yours.”
Size 8, who has lived much of her adult life in the public eye, admitted that she spent years feeling the pressure to achieve milestones according to societal expectations. From the rush of the entertainment industry to the public nature of her marriage and motherhood, she revealed that the turning point in her life came when she stopped comparing her behind-the-scenes struggles to everyone else’s highlight reels.
”I see so many young people today suffering from anxiety because they feel like they are failing,” she shared. “My advice? Focus on your growth, your character, and your relationship with God. The rest will follow.”
Her message has struck a chord with many netizens, who are often overwhelmed by the hustle culture that dominates Kenyan social media. For a generation obsessed with immediate success, her call to “embrace the process” is being welcomed as a refreshing, grounding perspective.
As she gets ready to celebrate another year, Size 8 is not just counting her blessings, she is challenging her followers to stop rushing and start living with intention.
