In my life, I haven't been really positively influenced by people. Because growing up I didn't ( and still don't) have support from my family. So, I can't say I have a role model there. But, there is a particular celebrity I look up to immensely and have such love and adoration for; and that is Demi Lovato. I have such feelings for her because she stands up for something that I have strong feelings for, which is people struggling with different forms of self harm. She herself struggled with an eating disorder and self mutilation, and has come such a long way from that, that she reaches out to people who are still currently struggling. Her courage, and strength to come out to the press for the actual reasons she was admitted into a mental-rehab facility are very admirable and brave. Especially when it was concerning a personal issue she has dealt with a big portion of her life.
Here are some of her quotes, that I really admire:
“I wish I could tell every young girl with an eating disorder, or who has harmed herself in any way, that she’s worthy of life and that her life has meaning. You can overcome and get through anything.”
“If there’s anyone out here tonight that doesn’t feel beautiful enough, or doesn’t feel worthy enough … You’re wrong. Because you guys are all so incredible. And if you’re dealing with any of the issues that I’ve dealt with, don’t be afraid to speak up, because someone will be there for you. And if you think you’re alone, put on my music, because I’m going to be there for you.”
