After more than a year of dating, we were given the upsetting news that Channing Tatum and singer Jessie J had gone their separate ways towards the end of last year. Only a month after their split, the internet was up to their usual tricks, already finding the Magic Mike star on Raya—an exclusive dating app that typically attracts actors, artists, and creative types.
Despite this discovery, we were yet to hear from Jessie J on the matter – but now, that has all changed. Taking to Instagram, the performer has opened up about the power of healing post-breakup, uploading an image of herself overlooking a city landscape from above as she shared some words of advice and reassurance in the lengthy post.
She wrote, “Go somewhere where your world feels and looks small. Gain perspective. Lay in the sea. Walk to the top of a mountain. Drive to view point in a park. Look up at the stars. This isn’t to make you feel like your problems or sadness or the feelings you feel are not valid but to know you are NEVER Alone.”
“Billions of people around the world. Are just trying to smile and mean it. Are actively working out who they are. Are missing someone they have lost. Are feeling worthless. YOU ARE LOVED. We are all trying to love and accept the stories in our lives that make us desperately want to fast forward or rewind time.
“When all we have is the now. The very moment. With the puzzle pieces of life sometimes put together in the wrong places. They can hurt until tended to. Don’t let past or current trauma define who you are. You can walk away from it. Take the time to put those puzzle pieces in the right place.”
Pretty sound words of advice, we must say. Whether they were about Channing or not, I guess we’ll never know. Either way, we should all take a leaf out of Jessie J’s book as we start the new year.
