Selena Gomez Doesn't Care About Beauty Standards & Gains Weight

Instead of continuing to let business and social media wreck her, Selena is enjoying a life away from the limelight and is finally happy.

Life without Instagram

“I think I would have a lot of people who don't like me if I said yes. If I could find a balanced, happy middle ground that would be great, but I would be lying if I said that it wouldn't have destroyed the identities of some [people in] my generation, ”Selena Gomez stated in February 2020, using hers At the end of the day, I got to know you to exchange ideas directly with Instagram and Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and his co-managing director Sheryl Sandberg. In a text message, the acting singer addressed the duo as follows: “It's been a while since we sat together. We have a serious problem. Facebook and Instagram are used to spread hatred, false information, racism and fanaticism. I ask you both to help stop it. Please block groups and users who focus on spreading hate speech, violence and false information. "

It is not known whether she has received an answer so far. Selena, on the other hand, used the Corona crisis to really switch off and enjoy life to the fullest. She also wants to be a real role model and admit her mistakes to herself. For this reason, Gomez published some Instagram stories in a gym in mid-June 2021 and tried to hit from the three-point line ... but failed and took it with humor: 

No desire for beauty ideals

The 28-year-old herself looks visibly happier and also seems to be able to show off her curves well. The fact that she has not focused on the perfect number on the scales for a long time is irrelevant.

“Society keeps telling us we are not enough, so I wanted to start a brand to challenge and remove that pressure - to change the conversation. My goal with [my own brand] Rare Beauty is to eliminate these unrealistic standards of beauty. I have seen from my own experience how these impossible ideals have affected my mental health, and I know a lot of people who felt the same way. "

And that's exactly why Gomez himself founded a new initiative. “Mental Health 101” is the name of the campaign with which the acting singer is helping young people with mental health problems to get professional help faster.

"Mental Health 101"
In a post on Instagram she said: “Today I am incredibly grateful that we started the 'Mental Health 101' campaign. This initiative is very close to my heart because of my own mental health issues. I know firsthand how scary and lonely it can feel to have to fight anxiety and depression alone at a young age. If I had learned about my sanity earlier - if I had been taught in school as I was taught in other subjects - my journey could have been very different. This campaign is very close to my heart because of my own mental health problems. The world needs to know that mental health is important. It is just as important as your physical health and I wish.
