Hailey Baldwin opens up, she posted an Instagram photo on Sunday and wrote about her insecurities and anxieties in a very lengthy and candid caption. She began the post by explaining she wants to “be more open about the things I struggle with, and be able to be more vulnerable.”
The overarching theme of her post is that not everything is always as it seems. Instagram pictures don’t always tell the truth, the grass is always greener and so on. So despite being married to hit singer Justin Bieber and adopting a super adorable puppy named Oscar Bieber, there’s more than meets the eye.
“The truth is no matter how amazing life may look from the outside I struggle…,” she wrote. “I’m insecure, I’m fragile, I’m hurting, I have fears, I have doubts, I have anxiety, I get sad, I get angry.”
The model doesn’t want a “pity party” either. “I’m a human.. I’m a young woman, I’m learning who I am and, it’s REALLY FREAKING HARD. It’s hard finding who you are, but what’s even harder is being picked apart and compared to other women while trying to do that,” she opined.
Those feelings often make her “feel broken” and she wants to use her experience and words as an inspiration to others.
Baldwin has spoken out about social media perceptions before. Right before New Year’s Eve she shared some of her favorite moments of the year with the “Sorry” singer and it could have been a response to trolls who constantly hate on her relationship with Bieber.
“Whenever I take breaks from it I feel so much better so much happy [sic] as a person.. the second I come back on I get immediate anxiety, I get sad and I get worked up,” she typed in one of the slides.
She added later, “The negativity screams so loud.”
Baldwin spoke out about mental health again, especially in terms of relationships. She wrote, “It’s hard to focus on your well being and mental health when each time you open Instagram someone is tearing apart your job, or your relationship or essentially any of the things in your life that are positive.”
At another point in her few notes, she provided her own learning experience that can be a lesson for anyone. She composed, “I won’t let people make me feel like I’m doing something wrong by enjoying my life and being happy.”
