But when I look back at my life,

I know that those really hard moments have actually been turning points for me, whether it be your whole world crumbling and falling apart so that then you can rebuild it and it will be better.

Or there was a lesson for me in something.

I feel like there's always been takeaway.

Or even like I look at my life.

So when I was living in Chicago in middle school, I was getting into a lot of trouble.

And that was a part of the reason why I moved to California.

And...

Like that in itself was hard, you know, moving to California after I had my group of friends and my boyfriend and like my life felt very much like it was in Chicago.

That was scary to have to move and be the new girl again.

And thank God I moved to California.

If I didn't move to California, my life would obviously look very, very different.

Moving to California, I got on TV and it completely changed the course of my life, but my career, but really my life.

And so like I look at some of those bigger moments in my life or even I look at a big decision for me was going back to the hills because at the time I had been pretty vocal about not wanting to do reality TV, how I wanted to be taken seriously as an actress.

I was trying really hard to stay out of the tabloid world, but

Like, there's only so much you can do.

I really kind of had no control over that.

But I didn't want to be seen in that light anymore.

Like, I really wanted people to take me seriously.

And so when I got the offer to do the hills, that was a really tough decision for me because I knew going back to the hills…
