Shawn Mendes shared a personal note with his fans explaining, “The truth, in current form is a 23-year-old who constantly feels like he’s either flying or drowning.”
The singer opened up to fans about how he’s been feeling and how sometimes he’s unsure what he should be doing with his life, “I feel like that’s a hard thing to do though,” Mendes wrote. “I’m afraid that if people know and see the truth they might think less of me. They might become bored of me.”
Mendes expressed how he wants “show up in the world as my 100% true honest unique self and not care what anyone thinks.” He noted, “sometimes I do!! Sometimes I really don’t care what people think and I feel free.” However, he’s aware that he’s not always able to.
He concludes his message ensuring fans that he’s doing well, “The truth is ALSO that I’m okay.” Mendes hopes that by sharing this message he can help others. “I’m just tryna tell and be the truth,” he concluded. “I like to think that maybe me saying this might resonate with some people.”
