Pretty Little Liars alum Shay Mitchell took to Instagram to reflect on her year, but many were shocked with what she revealed.
In a heartbreaking Instagram post, Mitchell bravely shared, “Although it was an amazing year it didn’t come without hardships,” then proceeded to share a sonogram of a tiny baby along with a broken heart emoji.
“We all have to deal with various struggles and challenges in life. And sometimes it’s easier to only showcase the good times on social media, which is what leads many people to criticize it for its lack of authenticity,” Mitchell wrote. “Having so many people follow me on Instagram and read my posts is both incredibly humbling and hugely uplifting.”
“The support and affection that so many of you show me lifts me up during even my darkest days, one of which happened last year after I miscarried and lost the child of my hopes and dreams,” she continued. “In the spirit of the new year, I think that we need to remember that we are all on this journey together—in good times and in bad—and to remind ourselves that we seldom really know or understand the struggles and hardships that other people are going through.”
She ended her post on a positive note, “So, for 2019, let’s all try to be a little more compassionate, empathetic, patient and thoughtful with each other. This sounds like a great resolution to me. I hope that you agree. Happy New Year everyone!”
