There's so many parts of my life that I've struggled with - that so many millions of others struggled with - about being an outsider, about feeling ugly, about having to overcome looking different to other people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can safely say that I had an incredibly difficult and trying past growing up and trying to be an artist and standing up as who I am in this world.
In my life I've gone through a lot of really hard times. I went through depression and had so many challenges that I overcame. And I overcame because I just decided to be happy.
I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.
I've been through a lot of struggles.
I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally. To be honest, I welcome those hardships.
I think my whole life, because of where I came from, I had a fear of failure.
When people are struggling, that's a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.
I had always thought of myself as fairly tough and fairly strong and fairly able to cope with anything. And then I had a series of personal losses. My mother died. A relationship that I was in came to end, and a variety of other things went awry.
My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.
Everything about my life seemed so perfect to people. But I struggle like everyone else.
