A couple years ago, while discussing popular music and culture, a girl in our youth group said something to my husband that, upon his retelling of it, left me dumbfounded. It was something along the lines of, “Demi Lovato is a bad person because she’s in rehab.”
If I would have been around, I would have lost it. I would have said something horrible like, “People like you are the reason that people like Demi Lovato hate themselves.”
Then I would have launched into some sort of theological diatribe about how, technically, we’re all in rehab for SOMETHING and that realizing that you need and want help for your problems should be celebrated and not condemned.
Maybe that’s why I’m not in youth ministry anymore.
But I digress.
Last night I gave in to Cosmo’s temptation and purchased their August issue simply because it has Demi on the cover. It also promised a “shocking” interview with her which… eh.
Shocking probably isn’t the right word. Anyone who has followed Demi’s story (like myself) won’t be shocked. But there was one paragraph that made me stop and mentally high five her.
[Sorry. There’s a bit of profanity.]
Underlined emphasis mine.
Girl, I have been reading through your blog the last couple days, and I think I’m in love!
Anyway, love this article on Demi. She really is owning it lately, in every way.

This is a really good post. I admit I read your blog from time to time and really enjoy it. And I’d admit I’m a total blog snob, but yours is truly a good one. Keep up with the awesome and inspirational writings. 🙂

I completely agree. I can’t even believe how relatable that blurb from the Demi interview is. Self-reflection is, indeed, a scary thing.
