Too Much Attention

”You all might not understand but allow me express myself today .

I may appear strong but deep down I have been broken Soo many times .
I am a moving damaged good .
,???? I have realised that I have become very sensitive that I don’t even want to leave my house .
I don’t like people recognizing me in public and at times I just wished I was just a normal person passing the streets in peace…????
???? My life is very hard as a public figure and entrepreneur…
????I get traumatized before leaving my house or jumping out of my car ????. I already feel attacked even where there is nobody…”

Apart from being famous, Akothee is a role model to many women; who greatly admire her lifestyle.
