The Skyscraper hit maker said, “What I see in the mirror [is] someone that’s overcome a lot. I’ve been through a lot and I genuinely see a fighter. I don’t see a championship winner, but I see a fighter and someone who is going to continue to fight no matter what is thrown in their way.”
She went on to highlight how important the whole process was for her and that there was no ‘do-over’ button she would push. “I wouldn’t change the direction of my life for anything. I would never regret anything. I love the person that I am today."
Apart from her music career, Demi had also been focusing on acting stints, in particular, with body positivity issues, as well as the issues of posting unfiltered and unedited pictures etc. Addressing it at the conference, she stated: "We hear the term ‘body positivity’ all the time. To be honest, I don’t always feel positive about my body. Sometimes I do not like what I see. I don’t sit there and dwell on it."
