Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over--or plod through--all the crap along the way. After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom\/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on \u003ci\u003eGlee\u003c\/i\u003e, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSorry:\u003cbr\u003e-  All those times I scrawled \"I HATE MY MOM\" in my journal. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along--we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side.\u003cbr\u003e-  At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them.\u003cbr\u003e-  Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot Sorry:\u003cbr\u003e-  That I don't always get along with everyone. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day.\u003cbr\u003e-  Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it.\u003cbr\u003e-  Getting my financial disasters out of the way early--before I was married or had a family--so that the only credit score that I wrecked was my own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven with a successful career and a family that she loves more than anything else, Naya says, \"There's still a thirteen-year-old girl inside of me making detailed lists of how I can improve, who's never sure of my own self-worth.\" \u003ci\u003eSorry Not Sorry\u003c\/i\u003e is for that thirteen-year-old in all of us.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43010031222847,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/2759173482330.jpg?v=1773662948","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/sorry-not-sorry-dreams-mistakes-and-growing-up-by-naya-rivera","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
