Angelina Jolie Couldn't Be Her True Self for a Decade

Actress Angelina Jolie has just appeared in a fashion photoshoot and conducted an in-depth interview with Vogue magazine (USA). In this interview, Jolie said that motherhood helped her avoid a dark period of depression after her divorce from actor Brad Pitt. Jolie affirmed that throughout her life, it was motherhood that helped her have a different perspective on life.

Jolie's adoption of her son Maddox when she was 26 helped her come out of a period of fast-paced, rebellious, and irresponsible living. After becoming Maddox's adoptive mother, Angelina Jolie changed her life to become more suitable for motherhood. Jolie began to see life differently.

Later, after experiencing life's upheavals, being the mother of six children became Jolie's motivation to continue to strive to live well and do the best for her children.

"I've changed completely since I was 26 when I adopted my son Maddox. Having children saved my life at many points. Being a mother has given me a different perspective on the world. I could have lived a very different life, perhaps a darker and more dangerous one, if I hadn't had my children. They are my motivation to try to live a better life."

Jolie said that as a mother, she always wants to give her children the best, at least providing them with a safe and stable living environment. Jolie revealed that her children are gradually growing up.

Seeing her children become more responsible for themselves and their loved ones makes Jolie happy. However, as her children grow up and become more independent, she admits that she feels a little sad: "Right now, I feel like I haven't been myself for the past decade."

Jolie believes that she is on a journey of transformation, and that she may become a different person in the near future. After experiencing life's upheavals, Jolie and her children have had to find a way to heal themselves. Up to this point, mother and children are still trying to find a way to truly stabilize their lives.

In the photo shoot with Vogue , Jolie appeared with an impressive fashion style. Currently, Jolie actively promotes the fashion company Atelier Jolie that she owns. Jolie said that the inspiration for opening her own fashion company came from the experiences she has gone through in her life.

"After going through some issues that made me feel vulnerable, I dressed quite stiffly, as if to say don't mess with me, I'm wearing armor. But during therapy, the specialist told me to try wearing softer items, with a slightly more flowing material," Jolie confided.

At first, Jolie felt silly hearing this advice, but at the time, she often dressed in a way that made her feel tougher. It was only after she got over the crisis that she realized that maybe she wasn't strong enough to be... soft.

Jolie realized that when we are at our weakest and most painful, we are at our strongest and toughest. With her fashion company, Jolie wants to help women express their softness and feel safe in doing so.

Jolie admits that she still doesn't fully understand herself. At 48, she's still trying to understand herself better.
