We all have something within us that drives us to do what is best for us. In some cases, it may mean making a big change in our lives that causes people to question why we did it.
That is how many people feel about Pamela Anderson. In 2020, the 57-year-old celebrity decided to move from the United States to Canada, which is where she originally came from.
Now, Pamela Anderson is speaking out on her decision to leave Hollywood and to return to her roots. Essentially, she wanted to reconnect with herself on a personal level.
She spoke about how Canada was a ‘homecoming’ on a very personal level. She said that she wanted ‘to really kind of look at my life and remember who I was — not what other people were telling me I was.’
Now that she is living in Vancouver, she spends time in her rose garden. She said: “I didn’t want anything that had happened to me define me. I wanted what I do to define me … all these realizations came to me in the rose garden.”
Pamela has spoken about her decision to return to Canada in the past. This included over the summer when she gave an interview with Better Homes & Gardens, saying that she had felt ‘very sad and lonely.’
She continued: “I was not in a good space when I moved back to Canada. I don’t know what happened over the last few decades, but I feel now so far removed from the image of who I was.”
Many people have an opinion about Pamela, but she also has an opinion about herself. She explained: “I didn’t feel just misunderstood, I felt like I had really screwed up, that my whole life was a bundle of mistakes. I was hard on myself, and I thought I put my family through a lot and put my kids through so much.”
Spending time in her garden, she was able to be herself once again. She said: “I came to a point where I decided to move home and disappear and get into my garden. And when I started building the garden, it was really like a metaphor of putting my life back together. I began planting seeds, and the smallest things became really profound.”
Pamela may have become famous appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine or playing a lifeguard on the television show, Baywatch, but she is much more than that. She has gone on to publish a cookbook, and to star in a variety of shows. She admits that the old days feel like a blur.
She summed things up by saying: “I look at it now and it feels like I went from Baywatch to Broadway. I don’t know what happened in between, it’s all a big blur. I am just happy to be here, in this moment, because I think I have had depression for a couple of decades.”
