Duffy Makes Social Media Comeback After 4 Years
After a four-year absence from social media, Duffy, known for her hit song “Mercy,” is back, spreading love and inspiration to her fans.
The 39-year-old singer, whose real name is Aimee Duffy, made a poignant return to Instagram on Monday with a touching video from the philosphart account, offering words of encouragement and hope.
In the video, a soothing voiceover reflects on the nature of happiness, emphasizing self-discovery and self-acceptance.
“Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you. It was never about being like the others. One day, you’re going to see it. That happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go,” the voice gently reminds listeners.
“Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself. It was always about embracing the person you were becoming. One day you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others,” the voice said further.
“One day you will realize that true happiness comes from within, and no external factors can define it. It was always about you. It was always about you,” the voiceover added.
Accompanying the video, Duffy simply captioned her post, “A little something to motivate the heart. Hope you are all doing well. Lots of love, Duffy.”
Fans immediately flooded the comment section with messages of support and affection. “We love you and hope and wish you are happy, fulfilled and where your heart wants you to be,” wrote one fan.
Another fan wrote, “We miss you, Duffy. And we love you. Hope you are doing okay. Remember people love you here.”
Duffy’s return comes after her courageous revelation in February 2020, where she disclosed the traumatic events that led to her decade-long hiatus from music. The Welsh singer bravely shared her ordeal of being drugged, raped, kidnapped, and held captive in a foreign country.
In a personal essay, Duffy recounted the harrowing experience, detailing her abduction during a birthday celebration and her subsequent struggle for survival. Despite the ordeal, Duffy expressed her gratitude for finding healing and strength over the years.
Duffy’s return to the spotlight marks a significant moment for her fans, who have eagerly awaited her comeback since her hiatus.
