“I know that something real incredible is about to happen and something incredible has already happened,” Lizzo began.
“I know that I am just in between that incredible moment. I use sadness so constructively in the last two years ever since I have been working on being emotionally honest. I’ve used sadness as a tool for gratitude,” Lizzo said as tears streamed down her face.

“It’s humbling and I’m grateful to feel these emotions because, because I know that because of this sadness I am going to be able to feel joy,” she added.
Lizzo captioned the post, “I learned in the last 24hrs that being emotionally honest can save your life. Reaching out may be hard but as soon as I did it, I was immediately covered in love.”
“I used to think of sadness as a constant with fleeting moments of joy in between… but it’s a wave 
joysadnessjoysadness and my sadness can be as temporary as my joy. I went on live to have a discussion about triggers. My triggers are: rejection and inadequacy,” she added.
Lizzo continued, “But I love that I’m more emotionally honest lately. I love that I can use my sadness constructively in real time for gratitude.”
Lizzo concluded the post asking her followers, “What triggers your sadness? What do you do when those buttons are pushed? What do you love about yourself in those moments of darkness?”
Lizzo previously spoke about self-love last month during an interview with Essence.
The star opened up about why she wants to normalize butt dimples and why she frequently posts naked photos of herself.
“I’m doing this for myself,” Lizzo told the magazine. “I love creating shapes with my body, and I love normalizing the dimples in my butt or the lumps in my thighs or my back fat or my stretch marks.”
“I love normalizing my black-ass elbows,” she added. “I think it’s beautiful.”
The singer went on to explain that she chooses to love herself because she lives in a world that doesn’t always accept women who look like her.
“I made a decision to be myself because I knew I had no choice,” Lizzo explained to the magazine.
“I’m not ignorant to the fact that we had to have a demeanor of lowering ourselves culturally just to exist,” she added. “But I’m trying to shake up the narrative about how we’re supposed to act.”from PEOPLE.com http://bit.ly/2ZExhE2
