Are uplifting social media messages the next pop star frontier?
First, Taylor Swift made headlines for leaving super-sweet Instagram comments on fans’ pictures, now Ariana Grande is getting in on the inspiration game. Grande Instagrammed a screenshot of a Twitter DM with a fan, who asked Grande how she learned to accept herself.
The 21-year-old’s long response is full of good advice, and she publicly shared the whole convo with her fans.
“Here are some dms I sent to a love named maya,” Grande captioned the photo. “posting em on here in hopes that maybe they’ll be helpful to some of u loves that can relate! I know I can. please be good to u. life is a gift and there is no need to waste it hating on the things we can’t control. as hard as that can be. try to focus more on improving the things we actually can control / change…. our outlook, our state of mind, our ego, the way we treat others, the way we treat ourselves, showing more appreciation, not giving into our fears, the way we react to obstacles, etc.. some of the most important work we do during our time here on this earth is the work we do on ourselves. and it’s hard work too. love youuuu tons.”
