Where I am now is better than I could have dreamed of. My relationship with myself is something I value deeply, even if things dont always go the way I expected, Hudgens said in the interview, published on Monday. For instance, my mom got married at 25, so I always thought I was going to be married at 25.

That didnt happen. But Im in such an amazing, healthy relationship, so it doesnt matter, she continued. What Ive discovered is that we all have these ideas and if they dont happen, then theres a reason why. Learning that has been extremely helpful to my growth. Im very grateful every day for where I am in this moment of my life.
