hey guys
it’s been over 3 years since i was on here and while i’m not back i wanted to post something in light of recent events
demi lovato is so incredibly strong and means so much to me. my heart breaks for her and i know things have been rough but i believe she can preserve and thrive. her portrayal of sonny munroe brought light to my life when i was going through my own personal hardships: i had recently moved to a new town about a year before i started watching sonny with a chance and moved again across the country when the second season was airing. demi was there for me when my life was changing and for that i am incredibly grateful.
there is a lot of stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction, and i have fortunately not dealt with the struggles of addiction i have dealt with anxiety and know how strong of a hold it can have on my life. watching demi succeed as she faces her own struggles inspires me. even rewatching swac knowing she was struggling so much at the time but was still able to make me laugh inspires me.
there’s a scene from elementary that i am reminded of during this time. in this scene sherlock, a former addict who struggles to stay sober, describes his sobriety:
“It's the process of maintaining my sobriety. It's repetitive. And it's relentless. And above all, it's tedious. When I left rehab, I... I accepted your influence, I committed to my recovery. And now, two years in, I find myself asking, 'is this it?' My sobriety is simply a grind. It's just this leaky faucet that requires constant maintenance, and in return offers only not to drip.”
sobriety requires dedications and support and no matter where i am in my life i will be supporting demi and her journey with sobriety.
