There are many people out there in the world who struggle with loving themselves. Singer & songwriter Demi Lovato is a great roll model for people struggling with loving themselves. Miss Lovato struggled with loving herself for years. She was even in rehab because of it accompanied by an eating disorder, and cutting herself. Demi Lovato overcame all of this with the help of rehab and her friends and family. Demi now wears tattoos that say “Stay Strong” to remind herself of everything she overcame. One of my favorite quotes from her is “Love is Louder than the Pressure to be Perfect”, to me those words are just so powerful and helpful to think of whenever someone is at a low point in their life. Demi Lovato is my role model because she is so strong & helps so many women in the world. She wrote a book called “Staying Strong 365 Days a Year”. I bought it! This book has quotes and goals for every day of the year. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
