Selena Gomez is on Elle’s October issue (looking stunning as usual) and inside, she reveals details about her recent move from L.A. to Orange County and she discusses her once-upon-a-time-bestie, Demi Lovato.

 

 

Selena revealed that after living in L.A. for some time, she picked up and moved to Orange Country ‘to escape the paparazzi.’  Selena explains, “It’s been such a release. L.A.’s just gotten really claustrophobic for me.  I can’t do any of the things I do here in L.A. It’s just impossible.”

 

Selena also says,  “I think everything in my life is being majorly downsized, in a very good way.  I’m going back to simplicity. That’s always who I’ve been. It’s not me saying, ‘I feel the best I’ve ever felt.’  It’s me saying, ‘I’m exactly where I am. And I’m so happy I’m in this place.’ It’s a lot of self-discovery. From 20 to 26? Oh my gosh. I feel like a totally different person.”

Selena also speaks about Demi Lovato, who suffered an overdose last month and has since been hospitalized and according to a source, as of right now, is doing great.  “All I’m saying is, I reached out personally. I didn’t do a public thing. I didn’t want to. I…I love her.  I’ve known her since I was 7. So…it’s…that’s what I’ll say,” Selena says.

 

Since moving out of the Hollywood scene, Selena says that she can finally ‘breath,’“Right now, I feel very sure of where I am. I don’t feel erratic or emotionally unstable. Or like I can’t handle my emotions, like I used to. It’s kind of understanding myself a little more. By all means, I don’t have myself figured out, but it feels good.  The moment I turned 26, I felt 26.”

 

 

And since moving to Orange County, Selena has been staying off social media and has been interning at 421 (a global anti-human-trafficking nonprofit organization), “I’m not on the internet. I haven’t been on the internet in months. I don’t have my password for Instagram. I have no apps on my phone, no photo editing apps. I have Peak, a brain game.  The reason why is, it’s not real to me. I know my voice is very prominent, but I’m not careless with it. I’m selective. As far as my personal life, someone sees me having a glass of wine? I could give two s–ts. I’m not trying to hide. That’s my life. I’m living it the way I want to live it. But it’s about making a conscious effort—if I can have a moment to be with my friends, I’ll take that time.”
