AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez follows one of her online devotees who is apparently struggling with suicidal thoughts. She sends the fan a touching note about perseverance and love, and shares a screenshot of it to others to further spread the message.
"By me following you is not me saying it's ok to think these thoughts. It's not me saying 'hey you said sad things, so I'm going to follow you to make you feel better.' God puts us in situations that are so unexplainably difficult for a reason," she wrote.
"There is someone in the world feeling so much, just like you," she added. "People everyday feel so many emotions they wish they could turn it off. But that's not why we are here. We are here for relationships, for people just like us who feel worthless."
"Your purpose is to share, help, encourage. Remember that. Please. Before you think of taking your life, think of all the [lives] you could save. I love you. More importantly there is a God that will love more than I ever could."
