Zara Larsson uses Twitter to encourage big dreams and perseverance

The period between Christmas and new year is always a bit of a shambles - the days merge into one, you end up having a bit more time than usual to reflect on the past year, and you gear up to get your life back in order, setting goals for 2019.

Zara Larsson has decided to deliver a bit of encouragement to women on Twitter, revealing that she had big plans and expectations for herself from the beginning, "Every time I get asked if I could imagine myself doing what I do 10 years ago people always get so fucking shocked when I say yeah."

She adds, "I’ve always had big dreams and I’m not ashamed of that. I really believe in myself and for some reason that’s not ok for a lot of people."

Like no, of course I’m not surprised and yes, I could definitely see myself doing exactly this as a kid. I’ve always had big dreams and I’m not ashamed of that. I really believe in myself and for some reason that’s not ok for a lot of people.
