PHOTOS: Selena Gomez breaks her social media silence after months; is proud of the person she is becoming

Selena Gomez is amongst the most followed celebrities on Instagram with a staggering reach of 144 million followers to boast about. However, on September 24, 2018, the singer-actress decided to take a social media break, much to the heartbreak of Selenators worldwide. Post that, Gomez had to be hospitalised due to low white cell count and with consecutive mental breakdowns, she sought treatment at a rehab. 2018 has not been the best year for Selena but she plans to make 2019 her year and broke her social media silence today through an Instagram post. 

Sharing three stunning black-and-white candids of herself looking like a dream, Selena wished everyone for the New Year and thanked those who have loved and supported her. For Selena, 2018 was a year of self-reflection, challenges and growth. "It’s always those challenges which show you who you are and what you are capable of overcoming. Trust me, it’s not easy, but I am proud of the person I am becoming and look forward to the year ahead. Love you all," the Taki Taki singer added.
