Amanda Bynes is getting her life together in a major way, and there is perhaps no greater indicator of this turnaround than her increasing self awareness.
According to TMZ, the 27-year-old recovering star is now remorseful about things she did and said when Bynes was at her worst, from 2012 to mid-2013.
Case in point? When she said “I want Drake to murder my vagina.”
As she slowly but surely treats her severe mental illness and becomes her old self again, sources close to Amanda Bynes say her past antics mortify her.
That Drake comment in particular “horrifies her” and this is a good thing, as it she knows the difference between right and wrong, and knows what’s inappropriate.
Incredibly, for the actress, this wasn’t a given for a long, long time.
Bynes has also stopped smoking weed, is having a number of inappropriate tattoos removed, and is being kind and friendly to those she interacts with.
Moreover, at the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising in Orange County, she’s become self-confident enough to make presentations to her class.
Pretty impressive, since Amanda was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and went so far off the rails, she is almost lucky to be alive.
Keep it going, girl. Keep it going. Much as we were fascinated with the Instagram photos from 2012-13, we’re even happier that she’s no longer in peril:
