Selena Gomezhas a heartfelt message for her younger self.
On Wednesday, the “Calm Down” singer shared a cute throwback photo of young Gomez smiling for a school photo.
In the caption, she wrote a note for little Selena. “Dear younger me, please don’t be afraid to ask for help.❤️”
The 30-year-old went on to encourage her fans to have a moment of reflection and do the same.
“Today is International Women’s Day and I want each of us to be gentler to ourselves. Write your younger self a@RareBeauty#rarereminderand stick it on your mirror to remind yourself that you deserve the world. Love you.”
This isn’t the only note Gomez had for the younger version of herself.
She also shared an Instagram video via her brand Rare Beauty’s Instagram account on Wednesday, full of affirmations.

“Something I wish I could tell my younger self is:Appreciate the face and the body that you have. May not look like everyone else but you are who you are and be proud of that,” Gomez said in the clip, which was shared in honor of International Women’s Day.

During an interview withVanity Fairpublished last month, she opened up about her relationship with social media over the years — and revealed why at the time, TikTok is what she enjoyed using most.
“People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people get detailed,” she recalled. “They write paragraphs that are so specific and mean. I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety…I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.”
