Status Updates From Inside Out

Good biography… always surprised by how young Hollywood becomes adults

Ashton encourages Demi to break her alcohol misuse sobriety, and she convinces herself that if she has healed her bulimia then she can get away with it. She realizes this could go poorly. She is not surprised when she crashes. This is sad to read but she toughs through it.

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

Demi shows an early talent for acting as she blends into each school she moves between—she admits something rare to hear but not surprising for an award winner: it took her decades to recognize she was never really being herself. Socializing was really just masking. And like her parents, she was addicted to the adrenaline of melodrama.
