Less than two months after he and Camila Cabello announced their split, Shawn Mendes has decided to step away from social media.  In a video which he shared on Instagram, Shawn says, “I’m a having a little bit of a hard time at the moment and just kind of my relationship with it.  But I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me what’s going on.”

 

“I think that when I make music, the ultimate goal is to kind of be sitting there and have my own truth revealed to me.  A lot of the time when I’m writing songs, I’m using music as a platform to be able to get to a place inside myself that I wouldn’t be able to get to by just talking to people or thinking about it,” Shawn continues.

Back in November, Shawn and Camila released a joint statement regarding their breakup, “We’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever,” they wrote.

 

In early December, Shawn shared a clip of him performing an acoustic version of ‘It’ll Be Okay.’  Watch below.
