Holiday Blog

In my holidays I watched a LOT of television. Many ten drama shows like Riverdale and Dynasty, with the odd How I met your Mother and Brooklyn Nine Nine thrown in there. All were just really to pass the time, and also to distract myself from doing school work. The only media I watched that made an impact on my life was Demi Lovato's documentary called 'Demi Lovato; Simply Complicated'. I never knew that her life was so complicated in the way that she was seen as this Disney actress who was a role model for children and had to have this fusade about her. Really however, she was struggling with a drug addiction and didn't get to grow up in the same way that most of us did with cameras on her 24/7 so drugs were kind of like her escape. The pressures of being this role model and then wanting to have her own life were expressed in this documentary as the tipping point for her and balance needed to be found. Going into rehab and seeking help, Demi has now been sober for over a year I think and this is an amazing accomplishment on anyone's behalf because the will power and strength needed to do this demonstrates how strong of a person Demi is. This all came from her love of music and her passion which I admire so much as this is one of the passions in my life. I feel like I can relate to her in a way because of the pressure she displayed to be amazing and do amazing things and that's how I feel about music. I want to be amazing and be amazing at what I'm good at in life and Demi shows how perseverance and determination can get you there. She now goes around the world telling her story and helping those less fortunate which I admire greatly and look up to her for that reason. No ones life or story is perfect and this documentary shows this as the once thought perfect Disney actress has flaws just like the rest of us and gives ordinary people like myself a chance to be able to relate and see ceelbrities in a different light.
