Christina Aguilera has been working since she was 7 years old...and she's apparently been keeping a diary for almost as long!
"I have this massive trunk of old diaries that I've literally kept from the past 20 years of my life. I was able to catch up on them and do some self-reflecting. It really forced me to be silent and take a look at myself," Christina told Health.
"In some regards, I wasn't happy with a lot of things and it's scary to face those feelings that, under normal circumstances, you don't have time to face because everyone is going, going, going."
"That grind is praised, but I think we're all understanding that having moments to self-reflect and just breathe are crucial," Christina said.
She added that since she's been working since she was a child, "there's a heavy amount of guilt" she feels when she's not working.
"It's been embedded in me since I was little: You're shamed if you don't want to keep up. As a child [entertainer], you're all pitted against one another, and other children are all about that grind too. It's a weird space to grow up in," Christina noted.
