After a four-year hiatus from social media Selena Gomez reveals: “It changed my life”
The young singer holds one of the most powerful Instagram pages on the social network, with more than 300 million followers. But in recent years, Gomez has decided to take a break, and disconnect from the Internet. Now, in a first interview, she explains how it affected her life
Although 29-year-old Selena Gomez is a successful and young singer, she has been hospitalized several times in recent years at a mental health institution, with many believing that the effect of this is her mythological ex, Justin Bieber. Also, in 2020 she revealed that she is dealing with bipolar disorder.
Despite the fact that Gomez is the fifth most watched person on the social network worldwide, in recent years the singer has decided to take a break. ‘Growing up in the spotlight taught me a lot. Four and a half years ago I decided to take a break from social media and it was a decision that changed my life completely. “I am more present, happier, and more connected to people,” Gomez said.
“It just makes me feel more normal,” she added. Her Instagram account is maintained by people on her behalf, when, she says, she does not enter the virtual space at all. The young singer came to the interview with her mother, Mandy, and her business partner, Daniela Pearson. Gomez also said that in the past year she has been working on a project designed to create a safe online space.
This is a platform that has provided free content backed by mental health experts, people who have also helped Selena deal with the mental problems she has been suffering from in recent years. As you may recall, recently, Gomez shared that what helped her deal with her condition was to learn about it as much as possible. “Now it’s not scaring me anymore,” she concluded.
