Selena Gomez had managed to stay away from the Hollywood gossip and had managed to stay away from the paparazzi since she moved away from Los Angeles to Orange County.

The superstar singer had admitted that her lifestyle had changed since moving to Orange County and admitted that she couldn’t do what she does here in Los Angeles “I can’t do any of the things I do here in L.A. It’s just impossible.”

Selena Gomez had recently been outraged after her candid photo with Dami Lovato emerged as she consoled her after her overdose episode. She admitted that she never wanted that episode to go public and she and Dami had been friends since she was 7. It can be understood why she will want to play down such an episode with a close friend after what she had gone through with the press.

Selena Gomez was pretty happy about her new found freedom away from the prying eyes of public scrutiny. “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 understanding myself a little more. By all means, I don’t have myself figured out,” the former child star explains. “But it feels good.

She admitted that she can now take a glass or two of wine without worrying about how it will turn out on the paper the next day. She is happy that she is living a new life as she turns 26 and that this new stage of her life is a big leap from 20 to 26 years.

She is presently interning for a nonprofit project as she enjoys her new found freedom as she explores life away from the prying eyes of the press.
