Selena Gomez Reveals What She Feared Most In Her Darkest Moments

Hi, Selena. How are you? You look amazing. Thank you and same. First of all, congratulations on this project. And secondly, thank you for making it. Like, I'm not gonna get super emotional, but thank you for making it. You know, it took a lot of brave vulnerability to share a story like this, your story. And I just spoke with Alec, who said that you gave him full license to do what he would with your story. How much vulnerability, how much, if any, fear was there attached to that? Oh, yeah. I'm still scared, actually. It was very uncomfortable, to be honest, in moments. But then I feel like it was also necessary. I thought the story needed to be bigger than just me and my music. I think it took a life of its own. And he just created the story that truly is my life in a time capsule. Yeah. Your life in a time capsule, it is inspiring. It's gut-wrenching. You know, I ask this next question, and I don't ask it lightly, and only so much as you're comfortable sharing. But that log line behind us says, every breath, a breakthrough. What does that mean for you? And in your darkest moments of that struggle, what did you maybe fear most? I think I was scared of myself. The way I was treating myself, the way I was talking about my body. It breaks my heart to think that's who I was. And it was really heartbreaking for me to know that... I hope I never... I just don't want anyone to feel what I feel or has walked through. I feel like this can't not be an emotional curve for you. What are you feeling right now, and why? I'm very nervous. This has been exciting, but a little overwhelming, to be honest. I think I am still a little shaky. But I'm excited to be here, and I'm happy that it's going to be released. Really quickly, anyone struggling at home, who may be watching and going through something similar, who may feel like their darkest days are still ahead, what would you say to them? What would you encourage them with? I would encourage them to be not afraid to seek help, but at the same time, learn about it, understand what it is. Because once you have the knowledge of what you're going through, you're less afraid of it. So I would say learn as much as you can.
