Popular American singer cum actress Jennifer Lopez has opened up on her insecurities in life despite having a hugely successful music and acting career in her early thirties.
J. Lo who opened up in a recent interview said thatshe still didn’t have a handle on who she was but she says life’s ups and downs have helped her trust and love herself more.
She says, “When you grow up like I did from my early twenties in the public eye, people grow along with you. They watch you fall down and it’s like, ‘Oh what is she doing? This is going to end badly.’ And then they go, ‘Well, OK, she’s not giving up, maybe I shouldn’t either… she had a rough time in her career at that time and now she’s back doing that.”

“At 32, I still felt like such a baby. I passed 30 and still felt like a teenager. At 33, I was like, ‘Oh s**t, I’m 33. That is crazy, I’m a true adult now and I need to get my s**t together!’ Even then, it took me years.
‘‘I really felt like, ‘I’ve got a handle on who I am.’ The part of the journey that’s so amazing is kind of figuring it out and tearfully crying in your bath tub and staying up all night and going, ‘Why did I do that? What is happening to me? And what’s going on around me? And what am I doing to contribute to this part of my life that doesn’t feel right?’
