<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">As we&#8217;re still experiencing a global-wide pandemic due to COVID-19, many people have had to learn how to cope with the changes. Today, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/t-i-and-tiny-develop-affordable-housing-community-in-bankhead/">T.I.&#8217;s</a> daughter, Deyjah Harris, decided to open up about her struggles with self-harm, while using her platform to bring awareness to Self-injury Awareness Day (SIAD ) worldwide. On Instagram, the 20-year-old got vulnerable with her followers. She used the hurt she experienced to testify to others in a lengthy message.</p>
<p>&#8220;I see you. Perhaps I had to experience this in order to be able to help someone else that is or will deal with this. I mean, we hurt so that we can help others heal from that same pain, right? I don&#8217;t need any sympathy. I don&#8217;t need any of you to try and guess why I did this to myself,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I don&#8217;t need you to tell me things like &#8216;Oh, you shouldn&#8217;t do that to yourself, you&#8217;re too pretty for that&#8217; etc. because that will change nothing. All I need for you to do is simply speak and live in your truth like I always encourage you to do,&#8221; Deyjah added.</p>

<p>As the message continued, Deyjah explained that if she can be brave enough to share this part of herself/ journey with the world, others can too. In another post, she thanked her mother and father for being patient with her, even when she felt like they didn&#8217;t understand. T.I. left a beautiful comment stating, &#8220;Ain&#8217;t no other way, baby bear. We ALL Love you to no end. Through any &; everything life has to offer. Good, bad, or worse&#8230; I Ain&#8217;t Never going nowhere &; ain&#8217;t nothing ever too big or small to bring my way. It&#8217;s US til da world, BUST!!!! You know we 4LIFERSâ¼ï¸&#8221;</p>
