- Frances Bean Cobain recalls 2017 near-death experience on 30th birthday.
- The model and visual artist marked a new decade of life on Instagram Thursday.
- Honestly, 20-year-old Frances wasn’t sure that was going to happen, ‘Cobain wrote in the caption of her post.’
Frances Bean Cobain’s 30th birthday is a time for her to look forward and think about her past.
Thursday was the first day of a new decade for the model and visual artist. In the post’s caption, she talked about how her plane caught fire while she was in the air in 2017. She said that was a turning point in her life that gave her a new perspective that she has kept over the years.
She wrote in the caption of her post, “I made it! Honestly, 20 year old Frances wasn’t sure that was going to happen. At the time, an intrinsic sense of deep self loathing dictated by insecurity, destructive coping mechanisms & more trauma than my body or brain knew how to handle, informed how I saw myself and the world; through a lens of resentment for being brought into a life that seemingly attracted so much chaos and the kind of pain tied to grief that felt inescapable. Then, an event on a plane which brought me closer in proximity to death is ironically the event that catapulted me towards running at this lived experience with radical gratitude. I’m glad to have proven myself wrong & to have found ways to transform pain into knowledge.”
“There’s a quote by @jaiyajohn I hold closely, which is “the softer she became with herself, the softer she became with the world”. It’s a sentiment I try to remember daily.”
“Entering this new decade I hope to stay soft no matter how hardening the world can feel at times, bask in the present moment with reverence, shower the people I am lucky enough to love with more appreciation than words could ever do justice & hold space to keep learning, so the growth never stops. I’m happy to be here & I’m happy you’re here too.”
