AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber opens up about his new "love" in a new interview with Elvis Duran on "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show". "Yes. I am in love," the "What Do You Mean?" crooner says, "Her name is Esther, she's my little puppy! She's adorable. She's a Silky Terrier. She makes me smile."
Justin is trying to improve himself after a tumultuous few years in the spotlight. "I just want to be around people who I feel are supporting me, uplifting me, and making sure I'm the best version of myself because there are so many people in this industry who just want to keep seeing me fall," he shares.
It took some time for the "Baby" hitmaker to realize that he needed to change. "It has to be on you. You have to make the conscious effort, because for me, so many times it was good people coming in my life and tugging at me, but I wasn't ready," he explains, "They're like, 'Justin, come on.' But I wasn't ready to take that leap and be like, 'Okay, this is what I want to change, this is who I am, and this is not who I am.' It takes moments of clarity to be like, 'Oh, that's why I'm not like this. That's why I shouldn't do this.' "
"I mean, maybe I'm a bad influence, but for me I was like, no, I'm going to do this until I feel like I shouldn't be doing this. Maybe I was wrong, but that's how I learn, and I feel like I'm much better for it," he adds. "Would I do anything different? I would probably stay away from Miami."
Justin admits to Elvis that "trusting people is hard, especially for me." He explains, "I've trusted people who I probably shouldn't have trusted before and they've hurt my heart. I'm a pretty sensitive guy, so I'll lay it all on the line, and they'll kind of pull it. So now I'm figuring out there's certain people I can't do that with. Here's what I'll tell the people: Don't let someone who ruined your trust ruin that next person's chance to gain that trust. I think I let that affect me and change the way I looked at people for a while."
"There's so many beautiful and amazing people who will encourage you, who will love you, who will not judge you. But I didn't see that because I completely put myself over here," he continues. "I still have moments where I'm like, 'Yeah people suck.' And then I'll have those moments of like, 'No, people are awesome, and this is why I do what I do in the first place.' "
