Justin Bieber: I’m Normal And Grateful

Justin Bieber checked in with his Twitter followers (@justinbieber), addressing critics who question whether he can remain grounded after experiencing so much wealth and fame at a young age. The 16-year-old writes:

I think I understand I’m not living a normal life anymore… but I’m normal. People say all sorts of stuff but I know who I am and I’m grateful

And I know some dudes are gonna talk trash and others are gonna show love. That’s life. I just love what I do. Guess it’s that simple

And I love all of you showing me support in my dreams and sharing yours with me. And I also love taking a hater and proving them wrong

Guess what I’m saying is do what u love and never let anyone stop you. Stay true to yourself and don’t judge a book by its cover. #respect

And I’m gonna prove all that in #NEVERSAYNEVER3D on FEBRUARY 11th…. @jonmchu sorry that was a #shamelessplug haha
