“When I started growing up, I started realizing what I’m really weird about,” Lovato says. “Last year I was engaged to a man and when it didn’t work, he told me how: this is a great sign. I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn’t going there, I felt this relief to be able to live my truth. “
Like many 20-year-old singles, she is exploring this terrain through casual dating. And right now, Lovato says, it feels “too weird” to be with a cis man.
“I connected with a girl and she said, ‘I like this a lot better.’ She felt better. She felt good,” she says. being sexual or intimate, he would have this kind of visceral reaction. Like “I don’t want to put my mouth in it.” He didn’t even rely on the person he was with. I just found myself really appreciating the friendships of these people more than romance, and I didn’t want the romance of anyone of the opposite sex. ”
“He was saying to me, ‘Bitch, you should have trusted yourself.'”

The new documentary follows the aforementioned 2020 relationship from commitment to rupture; when things were over, Lovato found himself wondering if he could ever reopen to anyone else.
“Because I denied my intuition of all the red flags that had appeared, I had no one else to blame but myself,” he says. “So he was saying to me,‘ How am I going to trust him again? “But he was really telling me, ‘Bitch, you should have trusted yourself. If you had trusted yourself, you wouldn’t have ended up in that position.’
Once Lovato stopped being a victim of that situation, he was able to move forward. “My heart is pretty open,” she says. “I’m listening a lot to my intuition, and that doesn’t mean my limits or my guard are high. He’s just saying that my ears are a little higher and my eyes are a little open. “
When the 70-minute Zoom call ends, Lovato’s song “I Love Me” pops up in my instant. “I wonder when ‘Love’ is enough?” she asks herself over and over in her heart, determined to find an answer. And she seems to have found it, but it includes more than loving herself. She is now checking with herself. Presenting herself. Blocking noise and following your instincts.
Whether it’s building your dream cloud room or rethinking your focus on sobriety, Demi Lovato’s path is finally completely hers. “Nothing people say or do will really change the way I live,” he says. For the first time, he is at home.
