“Sometimes, I really feel exhausted by the world, it feels like anything I do becomes an opportunity for people to tell me why I’m s@#%, why my music sucks, my clothes are ugly, why I’m ugly, or why I’m a horrible person. I’m worn down. The last four years are just me existing in a world where I can do nothing right & it’s hard not to feel like “what’s the point” and keep motivated. Everyone is just trying to make it through their day. Could we be a little kinder to each other? Seeing how much people enjoy being awful to one another is depressing.”

The post has many fans extremely worried that Iggy Azalea is sinking back to a very dark place. They are speaking out on social media and asking people to leave her alone in regards to the dancer’s seizure.
