Life Keeps Moving

Demi Lovato is featured in the December issue of Glamour Magazine!

In the issue she talks about dating, her single “Skyscraper”, and more!

On dating:‘”[I need] someone who’s not only supportive in my career, but also in my  recovery. It’s a big responsibility dating me because I come with a  little bit of baggage, you know? I’m completely open. I’m honest about the  journey I’ve been on, so I definitely don’t take dating lightly anymore.”‘

On “Skyscraper”:‘”[The song is about] every person who tried to bring me down. Everyone has the bully or the mean girl or the ex-boyfriend who tried to bring  them down. For me, I think of the people who really weren’t there for me when I  went into treatment. It was a really dark time for me because I had only a few  people — I had surrounded myself with so many artificial friendships. It’s  about those people.”

Source Source1This time last year demi lovato had-its hard to believe-checked into a treatment center to get help for her struggles with bulimia, anorexia, and self-injury. And instead of the usual celebrity tactic (deny deny) Lovato has taken a much braver route going public about her self described meltdown and the childhood bullying she’s talked openly about, all in an effort to help other young women and girls. This winter demi embarks on a world tour for her perfectly named album Unbroken. We’re all ears.

Glamour: These pictures women who know who they are are beautiful. And do you feel like you’re there? or are you still working on that?

Demi: I feel like I’m there I feel beautiful you know? I feel strong and I feel confident in who I am.

Glamour: What’s your go to makeup?

Demi: Concealer foundation blush, mascara. I can feel glamorous without makeup too especially on my lips they’re naturally reddish so i often let them go.

Glamour: How has your look changes in the last year?

Demi: Whenever you’re going through you know stuff it definetly reflects in the way you wear your makeup and hair, wearing less makeup is more comfortable for me.

Glamour: What’s one thing that has really stuck with you from this experience in treatment?

Demi: I met so many young girls and even older women who had literally, you know, been through so much that I couldn’t even imagine I was maybe a little more closed minded and I learned from them never to judge anyone.

Glamour: Is it true that you got tattoos on top of your cutting scars?

Demi: I think scars are like battle wounds beautiful in a way. They show what you’ve been through and how strong you are for coming out of it my tattoos say Stay Strong, Stay on one wrist, Strong on the other, now I’m able to look at them and be thankful for being alive. I think that ive been blessed over the past year to be able to start over

Glamour: What’s the healthiest thing you do for yourself everyday?

Demi: Pray. I pray every night before I go to sleep and every mornig when I wake up.

Glamour: I want to ask you about some of your lyrics. In For The Love Of A Daughter you sing about the ‘family war’ and you say ‘your selfish hands always expecting more’. Is this experience about your childhood?

Demi: I think people read way too much into that line.

Glamour: What do you mean by that. Do people think its abuse and it’s not?

Demi: I just dont think people need to be that literal. I think that could he just like a financial thing.

Glamour: In Skyscraper you sing ‘go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground’. Who are you singing to?

Demi: It’s to every person who tried to bring me down. Everyone has the bully or the mean girl or the ex boyfriend who tried to bring them down. For me I think of the people who really weren’t there for me when I went into treatment. It was a really dark time for me because I only had a few people I had surrounded myself with, so many artificial friendships. It’s about those people too.

Glamour: You also sing ‘you never really can fix a heart’. Do you believe that?

Demi: I think everytime you get your heart broken there’s a little piece of it that chips away and I don’t think you ever get that piece back, but I think you’re able to bandage it with time and with new people and other things that make you happy.

Glamour: So what kind of guys make you happy? What would you say you’re looking for in a boyfriend?

Demi: Someone who is not only supportive in my career, but also in my emotional recovery. It’s a big responsibility dating me, because I come with a little bit of baggage you know. I’m completely open I’m honest about the journey I’ve been on so I definitely don’t take dating lightly anymore. And they have to make me laugh…
