‘It’s a really different peace, a different energy,’ singer tells Seventeen magazine. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna on the cover of Seventeen magazine Photo: Hearst To say that Rihanna has grown over the past year and a half is probably an understatement. From leaving Chris Brown after he assaulted her in early 2009 to releasing her album Rated R to finding love again with Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp , the singer has been through a lot. And in a new interview with Seventeen magazine, the singer says that the best time of her life is now. “There’s a balance in my life that wasn’t there before,” Rihanna, who is set to kick off her Last Girl on Earth Tour this Sunday, says in the August issue of the magazine. “It’s a really different peace, a different energy.” So, how does all that emotional growth make Rihanna feel these days? “It’s really liberating. It makes you feel so proud when you look back and see how much it took you to actually get here,” she explained. “And it’s the best feeling. I’m really enjoying life right now.” Always known for her outgoing, colorful, and independent spirit, style, and personality, Rihanna says people shouldn’t be afraid to be themselves, even if other people don’t understand it. “Don’t be afraid to be yourself just because you’re not like everybody else in class. If you want to dye your hair green and that’s what makes you happy, then dye your hair green — no matter what other people might say about it. Not everybody is going to like you,” the singer, who sports a big smile and lots of beaded necklaces on the cover of the magazine, said. “That’s the world we live in. That’s reality.” Related Artists Rihanna
