Demi Lovato's "Simply Complicated" Documentary Review
Thursday's Journal

Not only do I love Demi Lovato for being a talented actress and singer, but also as a person who is not afraid to be open about her past struggles. Demi Lovato is transparent and vulnerable with her audience when it comes to her documentary "Simply Complicated." In this film, Demi talks about her struggles with mental illness and substance abuse at a young age and the emotions she was feeling that were abnormal to other people.

In the documentary, Demi made the statement, "one day I just came to a breaking point." She realized that she needed to make a change in her life to get back to having good mental health. Demi decided that going to professionals such as psychologists and counselors for help would be the best thing to do in order to recover. She even started working out more to reduce the stress and anxiety that she was feeling in her life.

Through therapy and exercise, Demi was able to to clean herself from abuse and get herself back on track to happiness and success. After getting the help she needed from professionals and support from family and friends, Demi came to a successful recovery and was stronger than she ever was before.

Overall, Demi Lovato's "Simply Complicated" documentary sends her audience the message that anyone can struggle with mental illness and that it is okay. Being mentally ill is hard, but it is nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of people go through the struggle of some form of mental disorder. Mental illness is a hard battle, but with the help of professionals such as psychologists and counselors and from family and friends who love you, you are able to get through it. However, the main person you need help from in order to recover is yourself. You have to want to get through the struggle of mental illness because it is something that you want to do, not just because others want you to. Throughout this documentary you can see Demi transform from being someone who struggled on a continuous journey of being unhappy while using drugs to being happier than ever before and clean of all things harmful. Demi Lovato is living proof that you can change your life and get on the road to recovery. It does not matter how long the journey takes as long as you eventually get there.

I highly recommend watching Demi Lovato's documentary "Simply Complicated." Whether you like Demi as an actress, singer or are interested in topics such as mental illness, psychology and/or counseling, I truly believe you will enjoy this documentary as much as I did.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
