Lele Pons is helping to add some reality to the glitz and glamour of the social media world and letting fans know that it's ok when some days you just aren't at your best. The Venezuelan-born social media influencer took to Instagram on Friday afternoon and dropped a message to her over 43 million followers about the importance of mental health. It is a subject that is becoming more normalized in society these days, thanks to stars like Lele Pons who use their platform to inform those who may find themselves in similar situations.

Unlike her usual beautiful and bright smiling photos, Lele Pons shared a different pic to her social media feed when she revealed herself to be bundled up with a sweater hiding most of her face, only allowing a visible tear to be seen streaming from her eye.

"Mental health is extremely important! It is okay not to be happy all the time," the star captioned her emotional photo.

Lele added, "You are not alone !!!! We all have our low days and up days! However, it is crucial to take care of your mental health and get help. Today I’m taking a break to do so. Love you guys and will be back soon."

Lele Pons was not specific on what was causing her emotional turmoil, or whether there even was a trigger. The day before her post, the social media star was seen hanging out with her boyfriend, Rapper Guaynaa, as the two posed for romantic pictures during sunset.

"Looks like engagement pictures??? JK ...NOT YET," Lele captioned the sweet photos.

Within moments of addressing her mental health, many of Lele's celebrity friends took to her comments to offer up love and support when she was needing it the most.

One of the celebrity friends who reached out to Lele Pons was Paris Hilton.

"Love you so much sis," the hotel heiress wrote. Paris has been very open about her own mental health, especially as a result of the trauma she suffered as a teen while at a boarding school in Utah.

Other big influencers showed love to Lele Pons during her time of need, including Sommer Ray, Yanet Garcia, Natalie Friedman and Chanel West Coast.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day for Lele!
