It’s no secret that growing up as a child star comes with its fair share of challenges.

She’s living life like any normal teenager now.

“I would say that I do like this Alana now, rather than the younger Alana.”

Her childhood goals of winning pageants have transformed into dreams of becoming the best version of herself.

“I want to be the best I can be,” she explained.

But her new lifestyle doesn’t mean that everything is perfect in the young star’s life.

At all,” Alana says, saying that her boyfriend is probably her closest friend.

I don’t trust nobody really, so I don’t have friends."

When asked what this new version of herself will be like?

She responded in the most on-brand way possible.

“I don’t know what future Alana’s like,” she said.

“I haven’t met her yet.”
