Last week, it came as a&nbsp;surprise to no one that Instagram&#39;s Year in Review data was basically a love letter to Selena Gomez, who was 2017&#39;s most-followed person, and had&nbsp;half ot the year&#39;s most-liked posts. Still, in a new interview with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/events/women-in-music/8053741/selena-gomez-cover-story-billboard-women-in-music-2017">Billboard</a>, the singer revealed that even she needs to take breaks from it &mdash; frequently.

In fact, Gomez says that she regularly deletes the app from her phone altogether, much to the dismay of Instagram&#39;s creator, Kevin Systrom, citing mental health as a reason.&nbsp;&quot;Removing myself was about spending time with things that matter. I&rsquo;ve been hanging out with an old friend, and basically every conversation, we want it to be intentional. Meaningful conversations remind you that it&rsquo;s all within where we are. It&rsquo;s not about what&rsquo;s happening with everything else.&quot;

It&#39;s this honesty about personal wellbeing that makes us respect Gomez so much (and likely what lead to her being chosen as Billboard&#39;s Women of the Year). Just a few months ago, she was very open about her struggle with Lupis, and needing a kidney transplant. As an international role model to people everywhere, Gomez is giving us all a good reason to be more in-the-moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;
