Selena Gomez

New.

“I’ve spent probably too much time thinking about how my life could’ve been, so now I try to just have a sense of gratitude for how it is. I’ve never wanted to be the kind of person who’s like, “Oh, I wish I had a different life.” This is just kind of how it worked out for me. I’m at the point where I know the value of my privacy, and I understand how the system works, and once I realized and accepted that part of it I’ve become a little bit more fearless. I view it as a small price to pay for being able to have the life I have now.”

“I’ve never felt this proud to be a women in this industry than I do today. And that’s because I actually feel comfortable with every single woman who has encouraged me but how crucial it is that the voices that are being heard for the first time is so great. I’m so grateful for the older women who have lifted all of us up because I couldn’t be here without any of you. Thank you for all of you that have inspired so many girls who feel like they don’t have a voice. I’m very lucky, I love all of you guys.”

I just kept thinking about how much my body is my own. Ever since I was 7, my life always felt like I was giving it to someone else. I felt really alone even though I had a lot of great people around me. But the decisions I was making, were they ever for me? [After the surgery] I had this sense of gratitude for myself. I don’t think I’ve ever just stopped and been like, “I’m actually grateful for who I am.” Selena Gomez for Billboard
