Scooter Braun is choosing to stay positive following the horrific terror attack that left 22 dead and more than 50 injured at Ariana Grande's concert [1] in Manchester on Monday night. On Wednesday, the "Into You" singer's manager posted a series of heartfelt and powerful tweets offering his condolences to the victims and encouraging his followers to not let fear rule their lives.
Tonight I got home and took my parents out to dinner. Korean bbq. We drank and ate and laughed with the tables next to us. I experienced joy

I experienced joy for the first time in days. And I remembered...we r free. We are all different but we r free to enjoy eachother's company

I will honor those that r lost by living each day full. Full of fun, full of laughter, full of joy. I welcome the differences of my neighbor

the wish of terrorism is to take away that feeling of freedom and joy. No. That is my answer. No. We cant allow it. Fear cannot rule the day

More people die each year from car crashes then terrorism. Yet I will get in my car. I will choose to live then to be afraid. So...

Following the attack, Ariana has put the entire leg of her European tour on hold, and recently had an emotional reunion with her boyfriend [13], rapper Mac Miller, on Tuesday when she flew from the UK to her hometown of Boca Raton, FL. "broken," she wrote on Twitter after the concert [14]. "from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words."
