Selena Gomez recently shared a super empowering message for her 4-year-old sister on Instagram. The little girl was talking about not being scared and Selena encouraged her to be fearless before talking more about how important it is that her younger sibling grow up to be brave. She wrote: “I will forever let my sister know she is strong, bold and beautiful. She will be raised to know her voice matters. She is going to understand the importance behind being a leader and inspire others by her truth.” Dang, I love Selena. If you didn’t adore her before now, I promise you will after reading this article.
- There are so many reasons to love Selena Gomez. I mean, have you seen the amazing friendship going on between Selena and Demi Lovato? It makes us all have a giant friend crush. Selena is such a good friend to her (and vice versa). She also has a clothing line called Dream Out Loud which is full of clothes that not only would she actually wear herself but also they’re truly affordable. Thanks, Selena! Lastly, she always has such a positive attitude—you never see her being negative. Need I say more about why we adore this chick? What a bold and wonderful woman she is and she’s only 25 years old. I think we all could learn a thing or two from her.
- Did you know she’s the most followed person on Instagram? She even surpasses Taylor Swift! This is shocking but also wildly comforting. I mean, what generations are most on Instagram? The younger ones, of course. They’re the ones listening as she continues to spread her message of empowerment across her social media platforms. This can only be a good thing.
- Her sister’s lucky. I mean, to be Selena Gomez’s sister in the first place is like striking gold, but her sister is lucky for so many reasons. She has such an amazing role model and support system, which she’ll need in this crazy world. There’s nothing better than a big sister there to help guide you through life.
- The video that went with the post made is tear-worthy. First of all, the video’s cute as hell. Her sister’s adorable. But, more importantly, Selena is so dang supportive. It’s like she knows just the right things to say. It seems like she’s been training for this—how to be a kicksss big sister 101. So, cue the waterworks for us sappier folk who just can’t handle the sweetness.
- All girls need women like this in their lives. Okay, so not everyone has a sister in their life, but everyone could use an aunt, friend, or mentor like this. Imagine what a place the world would be if all women had their own Selena Gomez? Each woman needs and deserves someone like that in her life.
- She’s passing this message on to her fans too. She went to a Los Angeles high school and passed on a similar message to the girls there. She was only visiting a group of females—hell yeah. Her message to them was bold and inspiring—you know, the usual. These girls were part of an organization called Step Up that seeks to empower teenage girls. Selena’s message to these ladies was essentially, “You are capable of doing anything.” She sat with them while multiple of them cried and all were excited as hell.
- It’s unfortunate that we’re celebrating this—I wish it was the norm. Look, I’m not downing the fact that we’re celebrating this. I mean, I wrote the article. Nonetheless, I can’t help but think that I wish this was the norm. What if all women talked to each other like this all the time, especially older to younger women? The world would be a kickass place and we’d have women with so much more self-esteem—the high amount they deserve.
