sorry not sorry dreams mistakes and growing up

Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day. That I don't always get along with everyone. Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them. At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along-we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side. All those times I scrawled 'I HATE MY MOM' in my journal. After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on Glee, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons: Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over-or plod through-all the crap along the way.

Navigating through youth and young adulthood isn't easy, and in Sorry Not Sorry, Naya Rivera shows us that we're not alone in the highs, lows, and in-betweens. Regardless, I had a great time getting to know her better.Funny and deeply personal, Sorry Not Sorry recounts Glee star Naya Rivera's successes and missteps, urging young women to pursue their dreams and to refuse to let past mistakes define them. I felt like I got a little bit more of her and maybe that’s what I loved so much. Overall, I really enjoyed this and I don’t know if I would have felt the same before she passed. Actually, there’s not a ton about Glee in this book, which is actually okay. I also appreciated that she didn’t just make this a huge book about trashing Lea.

Her love for her son was so obvious though. Since I’m reading this so late, obviously that wasn’t true since she has divorced him. For example, you can’t really have a perfect marriage and partner. There are some things that she was really naive about. Guys, she’s been through a lot of stuff! She’s so honest and raw in this book and I appreciated that. She grew up in the spotlight and she talks about how she learned a lot of hard lessons early. I learned a lot of things about her that I didn’t know. It’s so hard to rate a memoir because they are so personal. It’s even better when it’s narrated by the author themselves. I listened to it as an audiobook, which I’m finding is my preferred way to read memoirs. With her passing, I decided it was time to read her book.
