Im grateful that Im able to be happier now.
I can actually enjoy things and own my own perspective a bit, you know?
Like, glass half full versus it being half empty.
I had this, like, teen angst thing going on chip on my shoulder.
Im like, Its really cool to be moody as f— all the time…. Its not.
Like, youre just a loser.
Lets be honest, you know what I mean?
Malik said through laughter.
The singer added, You should be a nice person.
She laughs all day.
She wants to do the silliest things, and she gains so much excitement from it, you know?
She just has a whole fresh perspective on life, [which] had somewhat become gray for me.
In the years since his departure, Malik has been open about why he chose to leave One Direction.
“I wanted to be the first to go and do my own thing.”
Malik also revealed in a 2018British Vogueinterview that he doesnt communicate with any of his former bandmates.
Thats just the way it is.
Theres things that happen and things that were said after I left… Snide things.
Small things that I would never have expected.
