Justin Bieber is getting personal on Instagram once again.
In his post, Bieber opens up about his life as a child star. Bieber says things got so bad he sometimes didn't even want to live anymore.
Bieber writes, "You see I have a lot of money, clothes, cars, accolades, achievements, awards, but I was still unfulfilled.
"When you add the pressure of stardom, it does something to you that is quite unexplainable. You see, I didn't grow up in a stable home, my parents were 18 separated with no money still young and rebellious as well. My talent progressed and I became ultra successful. It happened within a strand [sic] of two years. My whole world flipped on its head. I went from a 13-year-old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world with millions saying they loved me and how great I was."
Bieber confesses that with this praise and warped world view, he made poor decisions: "By 20 I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from being one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged and hated person in the world!
"I started doing heavy drugs at 19 and abused all of my relationships. I became resentful, disrespectful to women and angry."
Bieber says God has blessed him and he would not have made it to this new chapter of his life without faithful people: "Luckily, God blessed me with extraordinary people who love me for me.
"Now I am navigating one of the best seasons of my life: 'Marriage'! Which is an amazing crazy new responsibility. You learn patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility, and all of the things it looks like to be a good man. All this to say, even when the odds are against you keep fighting. Jesus loves you. BE KIND TODAY. BE BOLD TODAY AND LOVE PEOPLE TODAY NOT BY YOUR STANDARDS BUT BY GOD'S PERFECT UNFAILING LOVE."
