Ariana Grande made a very heartfelt and candid statement on her Twitter and Instagram about where she is emotionally after a video of her crying while singing "REM" at her Sweetener tour concert on July 6 spread on social media.

Grande has since taken the Instagram post and tweet down, but fans captured a screenshot of the personal message she shared expressing her gratitude to her fans, her tour, and wishing everyone in pain strength as they heal. "I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing my humanness … so sometimes I cry a lot!" she wrote. "I thank you for accepting my humanness. I’m not sure what I did to deserve to meet so many loving souls every night / to feel so much love, but I want you to know that it really does carry me through. I feel it and I appreciate it. And all of you so much."

Grande has been touring two years after the Manchester Arena bombing and less than one year after her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller passed away from an apparent drug overdose, and she ended her engagement to her next boyfriend Pete Davidson. All of those events impacted Grande profoundly.

But she posted an honest and hopeful message about perseverance. Here, her full statement:

Tour is wild. Life is wild. I’m grateful for the sea of love I have around me everyday and for the people who come to these shows and give all of us every ounce of energy they’ve got. I’m grateful to work with the best musicians and dancers in the world. I’m grateful for my tour bus driver, Kurt who bought me pickles yesterday because he saw we ran out. I’m grateful for the opportunity to sing to thousands of people every night. It’s a dream come true. No matter how hard it gets or how many feelings come up that are screaming at me to be processed and sorted through one day, I’m grounded by gratitude and promise not to give up on what I’ve started. I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing my humanness … so sometimes I cry a lot! I thank you for accepting my humanness. I’m not sure what I did to deserve to meet so many loving souls every night / to feel so much love, but I want you to know that it really does carry me through. I feel it and I appreciate it. And all of you so much.

I’m sharing this because I’m grateful and because I want you to know that if you too are hurting, you can push through and are not alone. It is hard to balance taking care of the people around you, doing your job, and healing / taking care of yourself at the same time… but I want you to know, you aren’t alone and I think you’re doing great. Love you.
