Kylie Jenner took a break from aspirational vacation content last night to share a more serious and very candid message about her struggles with anxiety, growing up in the public eye, and the toll celebrity has taken on her identity. Jenner addressed the people who have come and gone in her life (people including Jordyn Woods) and how having her baby Stormi Webster affected her emotionally.
"I’m proud of myself, my heart, and my strength," she began the post. "Growing up in the light with a million eyes on you just isn’t normal. I’ve lost friends along the way and I’ve lost myself too sometimes. My first tattoo was 'sanity' to remind myself everyday to keep it. I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole young adult life and after my baby I dealt with all the internal ups and downs. I felt like I had to find myself completely again. I keep a whole lot to myself but just wanted to share and let you know I’m human. My life is not perfect and what you see here on social media is just the surface. Be gentle with yourself, move on, and let go. We are all capable of great things, worthy of love, and allowed to express ourselves. Do more of what makes you happy and be unapologetic. Now is your season ✨ We all have a magnificent destiny."
Jenner's post comes hours after People published two reports on how she feels about her life currently. Jenner is in a really good place. Jenner is "very happy with her life," one source said. “Kylie loves being a mom and can’t wait to give Stormi a sibling. Everyone thinks Kylie will be pregnant with her second baby soon. They are trying. She and Travis are discussing marriage.”
