Selena Gomez, Instagram’s most followed celeb with 103 million followers, made her return to the platform yesterday for the first time since August 15. She came back with a ‘thank you’ and some words of encouragement for her fans:
“I have a lot to be thankful for this year,” she wrote. “My year has been the hardest yet most rewarding one yet. I’ve finally fought the fight of not ‘being enough’. I have only wanted to reflect the love you guys have given me for years and show how important it is to take care of YOU. By grace through faith. Kindness always wins. I love you guys. God bless.”
