Selena Gomez returns to Instagram and shares a heartwarming post for Thanksgiving

For many people, Thanksgiving (and the holidays in general) can be a difficult time emotionally. Complicated family issues often come to the surface and there’s a lot of pressure surrounding the holiday. So it was particularly refreshing to read Selena Gomez’s Thanksgiving Instagram post, which managed to be vulnerable and upbeat in the most human and relatable way.
The photo of Selena and her fans was her very first Instagram post since her summer-long hiatus for rehab, and she reflected on her year of recovery from anxiety-induced panic attacks and depression related to her lupus. On Sunday, she made her first appearance back in the spotlight for the American Music Awards and both fans and audience members were touched by Selena’s heartwarming acceptance speech. false
Echoing the sentiments of her AMA speech, Selena expressed gratitude and hope for the future in her first post back on Instagram:
"I have a lot to be thankful for this year.. 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."
