In one of her recent blog posts which chronicles her journey of "healing and self-discovery," DJ Zinhle opened up about how she was able to pick up the pieces after going through overwhelming pain and difficult times.

In her post, published on Tuesday, Zinhle reflected a bit on some of her past challenges, saying that at times "things were so hard" that she didn't think she would make it.

"Nothing made sense and the pain was overwhelming and confusing," she explained.

However, since then, Zinhle claims to have found the silver lining in her dark times, explaining that she went through all of that for a special reason, one of which is to help other women to overcome their obstacles and setbacks.

Through her recent undertaking of "self-love" as well as "healing and self-discovery," she revealed that she picked up a few lessons, which she details in the rest of her post, in the hopes of helping others.

She explains that forgiving herself - for doing things that she is not proud of - acceptance, paying attention to her thoughts and feelings, being positive and treating her emotional pain - among other things - assisted her in moving forward.
