For a very long time, the public got used to seeing Aguilera in a certain way. It turned out she was never comfortable with it and even disliked being skinny: “Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves. I appreciated having a booty.”
Christina explains that when you’re in your 20s, you’re trying to find your confidence. It’s okay to compare yourself with others. It’s only with age that you start appreciating your body and accepting who you are. The singer is finally able to feel really good when “staring back” at herself in the mirror.
Being the best version of yourself is a good choice. Christina Aguilera is choosing to be precisely this way and is wholly comfortable with herself: “No matter what I’ve been through—successes, childhood trauma, hardships — I still have a fighting spirit.” The singer says that she never stops learning and growing to be the best person she can be.
The important message the singer tries to embody is to feel confident. Before, she always felt vulnerable, and she accepts that this is also normal and that there can be different moods and moments in life. However, she still wanted to stress that you shouldn’t lose strength and confidence forever, saying, “But even in owning your truth and power, there are moments of weakness. I am not ashamed to say that I have my dark moments.”
