Following her interview with Allure magazine, Alicia Keys opened up about her insecurities. The singer took to Instagram to post pictures from her Allure shoot.

She added in the caption that she had never been secure in her own skin and that her opinion was never true. She believes she is no longer in that place, but it took her some time to get there.

She wrote:

I’ve never felt comfortable in my skin. I’ve never felt like I can depend on myself without having to check with 30 other people to make sure that my opinion is valid. But now I do, I like the way that I feel right now, and it took quite a while to get to this place. ⁣⁣

It’s a process… eventually you get there. Be proud of your journey even with all the insecurity… we’re getting closer to ourselves. Big love to @allure 💜💜💜⁣⁣
