Lalla Hirayama has given her fans a health update after undergoing two surgeries in four days.
The media personality recently shed light on the importance of cervical health and regular pap smears after a medical examination resulted in her being diagnosed with grade 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN3).
In a recent heartfelt post, Lalla shared her thoughts on her experiences, revealing that she's been on a path of introspection and self-reflection.
Lalla candidly shared that before her move to Stellenbosch she was struggling with feelings of “inauthenticity and severe depression”, which led her to re-evaluate her values and priorities.
“Two surgeries in four days and I couldn’t be more grateful. My first surgery was more of a rushed surprise but this one has been something I’ve wanted for quite some time. Before I moved to Stellies, and walked away from a life and world I worked so hard to be part of I had been wrestling with feelings of inauthenticity and severe depression.
“Now that I have spent time in a slower more gentle life I have started to step away from what I always valued as important: physical beauty, societal relevance, designer clothes, etc. There is a lot to unpack here, maybe one day I’ll go into it more.
“Slowly I am coming back to my natural self. Becoming a sovereign being in a way — stepping out of the ‘matrix’, not ruled by economic opportunities, popularity or other people’s opinions.”
