Selena said she was “more present” during the break.

“I was happier.

Its more human.”

Selena Gomez responds to a comment, expressing her determination to not let others' words control her life and happiness

And once I finally found the answer, it wasnt, ‘Oh, I have this problem.’

It actually made me feel better to know and understand what was happening in my mind.

And I actually found it to be less scary."
