Also, with this generation of kids growing up, bullying is the “norm.” Being self critical is the ” norm”
Like, I’ve worked in the entertainment industry as a journalist for many years. And what I’ve learned from it- is its politics and nature is brutal; because it’s all about money and business at the end of the day. It’s not about being human. And if you go into it you have to understand that there is certain amount of battery you have to be willing to go through to sustain in it. It’s a very,very toxic environment- that breaks down your mind, because there is always that person, who is willing to do anything to anybody to get ahead.
Which doesn’t work for me, because I genuinely care about people. The maximum joy I get is to create something that makes someone else’s life better and brighter. I’m past cars and jewelry- you know? I don’t even wear a watch or anything. But the joy I get from entertainment journalism is seeing how celebrities are able to use their fame, to make someone else’s life a little brighter or better. It’s like a power they possess, where God chose them out of everyone else to heal people, help people. etc. All they have to do is shake somebody’s hand, or smile and write their name on a sheet of paper- and it’s something that person will remember or think about the rest of their lives ( literally) and may even change them for the better or worse, depending on the encounter. I find that humans aren’t creatures of logic, we are creatures of emotion. And we do not care what is true, we only care about how it feels. So in seeing the power that fame can have on others, that’s what attracted me to the profession initially. I wanted to be apart of it and use my platform to write an article that may impact the lives of 6,000- 10,000 people, just by reading it- inspiring a new thought, discussion, changing your mind- etc – not to get off the point, I pray that, you are feeling better about yourself. And that you know that, your failures are only surface and as big as you allow them to be. That is doesn’t define you.
