She went on to encourage others with insecurity issues, saying that although it took her a while to embrace her skin, she’s in a better place.

The singer wrote: "I’ve never felt comfortable in my skin. I’ve never felt like I can depend on myself without having to check with 30 other people to make sure that my opinion is valid. But now I do, I like the way that I feel right now, and it took quite a while to get to this place. ⁣⁣

"It’s a process... eventually you get there. Be proud of your journey even with all the insecurity... we’re getting closer to ourselves."
