Bella Hadid has always been “very hard” on herself.
The 29-year-old model opened up to Dazed magazine amid the release of her fragrance brand ‘Ôrəbella’s new SOLARS Mists.
In the interview, Bella said she’s trying to leave her hard side behind and embrace her softer side.
She explained: “I really believe that the softer we are with ourselves, the softer the world around us starts to become.
“I tend to be very hard on myself, so when it comes to being able to flow through summer and be a soft princess girl, sometimes it gets hard to take the work mask off and go into being just a girl again. But I think it’s really important to be able to focus on hobbies and being able to go outside and paint. I love playing tennis and riding my horses and being able to go to rodeos and barrel race and horse show and do the things that I love to do with people that I love.
“Spending time with my brother and my dad and my sister and my mum, that’s what really keeps me feeling soft, keeps me feeling safe.”
Bella also said that she relies on her scents to help her stay grounded when she’s travelling – especially as she has struggled in the past with knowing where her “home” is.
She said: “I think my whole life I struggled with figuring out where my home was, especially being so young and moving away from home, which I’m lucky that my home was always my horses, my best friends, my mother and my family in California.
“But once I moved to New York at 17 and then immediately got into the swing of things and was on a plane every day, I never felt like I had a home. That’s something I speak about in therapy because it’s something that I struggle with a lot.
“But I’ve realised over the past few years that I don’t want to keep putting my happiness or home in a person or place.
“I want my happiness and home within myself. I do believe that home really should be within our own hearts, and then we can move with knowing we’re always safe with ourselves.”
