‘I Need To Rethink… My Life’: Selena’s Emotional Instagram Post Has Fans Worried
She was unusually candid about her feelings.
Selena Gomez was reflecting on the year gone by after turning 24 on Friday July 22nd, and it appears she wasn’t happy with what she found.
The singer posted a cryptic message on Instagram yesterday, just hours after she tearfully ended her show in Indonesia with an emotional message.
Wiping tears from her eyes as she introduced Kill Em With Kindness, Selena told the audience at the Convention Centre in Jakarta how she felt “frustrated” and “stupid” at times.
“I say things that I don’t mean, or that come out wrong just because I care so badly,” she added.
The next day, the 24-year-old got even more candid on social media, posting to Instagram to explain what was getting her down.
“Tonight I felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music,” she wrote, in a post which has already gotten 1.1m likes.
“I’ve never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn’t happened.
“I’m stagnant, I stay still and don’t just sit with myself first and ask ‘is this where I am, whole heartedly?’ I’ve always told the truth.
“I’m always true to my word, I’ve shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally.”
It’s thought Selena’s unusual outpouring might be related to the angry tweets she posted last weekend, following Kim Kardashian’s Snapchat exposé of Taylor Swift.
After one fan asked her why she wasn’t using her influence to raise awareness of issues like racism and police brutality, Selena responded saying, “I could give two f**ks about sides.”
Sounds like the singer might need to take a break from social media for a while…
