Though Selena Gomez is only 30, she has said some profound things that you may be shocked to hear coming from a Millenial.

Selena Gomez is a Texas-born singer and actress who started her career at a young age by starring in the children’s TV series Barney & Friends. Her real breakthrough was the leading role she played in Disney’s 2007 series Wizards of Waverly Place.

In 2014, Gomez had been battling lupus, which became a matter of life and death, considering the long waiting lists for finding a donor. Along with the physical symptoms, the aggravation of the disease caused depression, panic attacks and eventually forced her to undergo a kidney transplant. Her friend, Francia Raisa, saved her life, as Selena was two weeks away from kidney failure.

It’s a journey to find your direction or your passion so don’t get frustrated by the mistakes and setbacks, as they happen to all of us.
