Most people will spend the first few decades of adulthood continuously learning to be themselves.
For the average person, this is a challenge.
For a former child star like Demi Lovato, we can imagine this challenge is intensified 20-fold.
However, for someone like Lovato, this experience is multiplied beyond imagination.
At just 10 years old, they appeared as a cast member of “Barney and Friends.”
Sadly, these albums did not have nearly as much success.
However, Lovato created the albums with a deep desire to get positive feedback from the public.
She continued, “I played that role for a minute.
And that didn’t fulfill me at all.”
Today, they can’t even bare to listen to these albums.
In 2018, Lovato was close to death in the ICU.
In the docuseries, theyrevealed the truth about their serious health issuesafter the overdose.
“I had three strokes, I had a heart attack .
I also had pneumonia and multiple organ failure,” they said in the docuseries.
Lovato has made it clear that they will no longer waste any precious time being someone they’re not.
