Justin Bieber is reflecting on his past relationships – and how he plans to move forward.
The “Love Yourself” singer got candid with fans on Instagram once again, reflecting on his personal issues when it came to dealing with relationships.
“I came from a small town in Stratford Ontario Canada. I didn’t have material things and was never motivated by money or fame I just loved music,” he began. “But as I became a teenager I let my insecurities and frustrations dictate what I put my value in.”
“My values slowly started to change,” he continued, sharing, “Ego and power started to takeover and my relationships suffered because of it.”
Justin, who tied the knot with wife Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin) in 2018, opened up further, admitting, “I truly desire healthy relationships.”
“I want to be motivated by truth and love. I want to be aware of my blind spots and learn from them!” he added, and spoke of his faith as his guide in moving forward.
“I want to give up my selfish desires daily so I can be a good husband and future dad! I’m grateful that I can walk with Jesus as he leads the way,” he concluded his post.
Justin was previously in a years-long on-and-off relationship with Selena Gomez, who had previously opened up about the inspiration behind her song “Lose You To Love Me”
“It’s not a hateful song; it’s a song that is saying — I had something beautiful and I would never deny that it wasn’t that. It was very difficult and I’m happy it’s over,” she said in an interview with NPR in January.
She also spoke of feeling like “a victim to certain abuse,” specifically, “emotional abuse.”
“Yes, and I think that it’s something that — I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. And I had to understand the choices I was making,” she said.
“As much as I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt and I’ve found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible,” she continued.
This isn’t the first time Justin has opened up about his personal issues. Last year, he posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, where he wrote in part, “I started doing pretty heavy drugs at 19 and abused all my relationships. I became resentful, disrespectful to women and angry. I became distant to everyone who loved me, and I was hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become.”
He also shared that it took him “years to bounce back,” which involved fixing and changing how he deals with relationships, as he embarks on a new season of his life – marriage.
