When reading a list of Rihanna's accomplishments, it would be easy to assume that she's older than she is. She's been a busy woman, achieving a lot before even turning 30, a milestone she reached in 2018. Her many professional accomplishments didn't come without sacrifice but, fortunately, she learned to slow down a bit by the time she reached that age.
"I used to feel guilty about taking personal time," she admitted to Vogue that year. She explained that she was working on having a healthier relationship with work and on keeping her focus on more important things, adding, "Even mentally, just to be away from my phone, to be in the moment, that has been key for my growth. Now, when I come to work, I'm all in. Because before you know it, the years will go by. I'm glad I'm taking the time. I'm happy."
Of course, achieving the perfect work-life balance is not something that happens overnight, as Rihanna proved the following year with an Instagram post in which she apologized to those she hadn't responded to recently. "This year has been quite an overwhelming one, and I'm working on that ish called Balance," she wrote, proving that RiRi is human, just like the rest of us.
