Singer and actress Selena Gomez left her over 300 million followers in the cold.
The singer shared recently on “Good Morning America” that she has not been on the internet in over 4 years. She spoke about her decision to step away from social media, the internet itself, and what it’s done for her mental health. “It has changed my life completely, I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people,” Gomez said. “I understand how powerful the internet is, and in so many ways it’s done the best things for the world. But for me, I get to my news that is actually important I get through people in my life.”
Alongside her mother Mandy Teefey, and businesswoman Daniella Pierson, Gomez announced the launch of Wondermind—a mental fitness company that offers free online resources.
Gomez, who has been outspoken about her challenges talked about more specific things that work for her and that make her feel good, “To me, there‘s nothing better than wearing your favourite cozy outfit, sitting by a fireplace, and having a tea moment. I’m like an 80-year-old woman,” she said, laughing.
