Meeting Justin Bieber was interesting. We were backstage at The Voice, and he was there premiering his "Boyfriend" music video. I was in six-inch heels, so I was towering over him like a giant.

I know that I cannot control anyone else's actions but my own, and how I choose to react to situations.

I started to realize that everyone goes through those doubts, and I need to try and be the best version of me I can - not only for myself but everyone around me.

Being able to meet fans who look up to me and letting me know they have been inspired by me in some way is so humbling.

I am constantly trying to figure things out, and writing and decompressing is a way for me to analyze and try and grow and understand.

I am only capable of what I allow myself to believe I can do.

Making excuses and not trying because I was scared were my go-to reactions. Nothing was going to change in my life unless I did something about it.
