Dear Justin,

Like most of your fans, I've been there from the beginning. I started off watching your "kidrauhl" YouTube videos, and obsessed over your My World albums (part 1, and 2). I wore your face on my t-shirts when I was embarrassingly too old to be doing so, and I defended your name because I was trying to still be a Belieber.

I was still your fan with your heartbreaks of Selena, the rumors of you cheating, the times you lashed out. I'd defend you. I'd tell people how hard it must be to be famous. I thought of the kid from Canada playing hockey without a care in the world and as humble as can be. I'd watch your radio interviews where you'd talk about your love for your career, for the art of music, and most of all, the love for your fans.

I'm not sure if somewhere along the road you got sick of the fame, or you just genuinely don't care about your fans anymore lately, but your actions are saying that to us. It seems as if you think you got this way on your own, you made yourself into this star, and you are leaving us behind as just a small piece of the puzzle you no longer care about.

You yell at your fans at concerts, social media, and belittle them as a factor to your fame. I understand that you may feel overwhelmed, underappreciated, and probably in your words "like a zoo animal," but pictures with fans is just something that comes along with the fame. It's not that you owe it to us, or we demand something like that out of you, but it doesn't hurt you, it doesn't cost you, and it's something so small that can make someone's entire life.

If you no longer like being famous, that's fine. But... I hope that you remember and understand how you now have this lifestyle. You now can like this because of your fans. People have supported you, and supported your music for almost a decade now, and I personally don't think that this is the time to turn your back on them.

When it comes to social media everyone has the option of what they post and do not post on there, and that includes you. If you didn't want backlash from fans on who you're deciding to hangout with that week then don't post it on Instagram, even better, go big or go home and delete your whole account. Only now that seems like another thing that you are taking away from the fans that have been here from day one.

I'm just saying me and other Beliebers miss the original Justin before fame got to you. We miss the fun-loving, fan-loving artist that you were. The humbled Canadian kid who couldn't be happier to have girls screaming in his face while you flipped your hair in the wind. Please know we all support you and want you happy, but you don't have to push us away in the meantime.
