.ShawnMendes is rooting for us all in a heartfelt Instagram post
yesterday to reminisce on how far he's come — particularly since being bullied over his love for music when he was in ninth grade.
Along with a series of photos of himself performing, Mendes wrote,"I'm thinking about being in 9th grade right now. The day after I posted one of my first covers onto YouTube back in 2014.. at school walking down the hall straight into a group of older guys yelling out 'sing for me Shawn sing for me!' In a way that made me feel absolutely horrible... made me feel like a joke, like what I was doing was just stupid & wrong.
Still, Mendes acknowledged that ignoring the naysayers isn't easy. After all, there are a lot of people in the world who want to see others fail. However, his message is clear: If you're passionate about something, you deserve to pursue it."I know it's not just that easy & I'm not asking you to change your world [overnight], BUT I want you to know that no matter how old you are, no matter who you are, no matter where you're from... you deserve to follow your heart.
