Selena Gomez is embracing a journey of self-understanding, focusing on shedding societal labels and embracing her true self. On October 13, the Wolves singer shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, reflecting on her experience at the recent Mental Fitness Summit by Wondermind.
In the video, Gomez emphasized the importance of community and the power of surrounding oneself with supportive people. “Why do I always go back to the community? Because you are who you surround yourself with,” she began. Gomez stressed the significance of feeling safe and secure in the community you build, acknowledging that this isn’t always easy.
“It’s hard!” she added, underscoring the challenges many face in finding their place of belonging. Gomez also shared a powerful quote she had recently posted, noting that it resonated deeply with her and might inspire others as well. She read aloud, “Maybe the journey isn’t about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you so that you can be who you are meant to be in the first place.”
The quote, which reflects Gomez’s ongoing quest for self-acceptance, struck a chord with the singer. She admitted that the message “really struck home” for her and shared how she is making an effort to focus on positivity in her life.
Gomez’s reflection on her personal growth comes as part of her broader advocacy for mental health, using platforms like Wondermind to help others navigate their mental fitness journeys. As she continues to champion mental wellness, her words serve as a reminder that true self-discovery often involves letting go of external expectations and embracing one’s authentic self.
