I'm not the type of person who keeps up with celebrity gossip, however I've recently been bombarded with a who's who divorce. The person's marriage lasted 72 days, and everyone is saying all sorts of things; however, the thing that resonates the most is that the persons biggest claim to fame was a leaked sex tape. It's so unfortunate that you're only remembered for the things you did bad, wrong, or just all in all negative. This made me began to wonder why? Why will this celebrity never be remembered for their huge donations to a charitable organization, but instead for a leaked love scene. It makes you begin to wonder what then will you be remembered for? This unfortunate incident has reinforced the truth that I've come to live by, and that's to truly strive to be your personal best. People will deem you to be what they want, when and how they feel it necessary, but if you're not at peace with yourself then nothing else matters.
[T]o attain [your] place in the world, [you] must be [yourself], and not another.
~W.E.B. Du Bois~
