Selena Gomez posted a message on Instagram on Saturday confessing she feels “inauthentic” and needs to “rethink” her life.

As Gossip Cop reported, the singer-actress turned 24 on Friday. On Saturday, she had a concert in Jakarta for her “Revival World Tour.” But after the show, she candidly admitted her unhappiness.

In a type-written photo message, Gomez said, “Tonight I felt extremely inauthentic, unconnected to both my myself and my music. I’ve never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn’t happened.”

Gomez continued, “I’m stagnant, I stay still and don’t just sit with myself first and ask ‘is this where I am, whole heartedly?'” She went on, “I’ve always told the truth. I’m always true to my word, I’ve shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally.”

“Had to get that out,” she concluded. Gomez further wrote in the post’s caption, “Not being negative about anything I’ve done. I’m grateful for every single moment I get here -Indonesia you were LOUD and clearly inspiring. Love you so much.”

The message was Gomez’s first Instagram post since she was criticized earlier this week after defending best friend Taylor Swift during the drama with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. As Gossip Cop reported, Justin Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette wished Gomez a happy birthday on Friday, telling her, “Don’t let them get to you. Keep UR peace & joy #LoveWins.” Gossip Cop hopes she takes the advice to heart.
