When you get to the end of your rope. Tie a knot and hang on.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

FROM EVERY WOUND THERE IS A SCAR, AND EVERY SCAR TELLS A STORY. A STORY THAT SAYS, "I SURVIVED."
-CRAIG SCOTT

Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth.

the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
- Johnny Cash

KARDASHIAN-JENNER
DYNASTY

LET US COUNT THE WAYS WHY WE HATE THE KARDASHIAN/JENNER
Because they make an honest billion dollars;
because they're their own bosses;
because they don't cheat in love;
because they're not "super ego-tripping"
because they're humanitarians;
because they don't racially discriminate;
because they don't overdose;
because they don't go to rehab;
because they don't go to celebrity jail;
because they're not queer;
because they're not hypocrites;
because they visits the prisoners;
because they freed the prisoner Heb. 13:1-3;
because they're scandals free;
because they're not haters;
because KKJ are the best friends "black men have...
because against the odds [e.g. ABC news.com/theview]
they "cut down" black men [i.e. Michael Jackson; Kanye West]
from the "High Tech" Lynch tree.
because they're beautiful;
because they are better
than us!!!

Kardashian's legal ambitions

Kim Kardashian is very serious about becoming a lawyer, said Jonathan Van Meter in Vogue. The reality-show superstar became a criminal justice reform advocate after connecting with Alice Marie Johnson, a 63-year-old Alabama woman who'd been in prison for a nonviolent drug offense since 1996. Working with activists, Kardashian played a key role in lobbying President Trump to commute Johnson's sentence last summer on the way to signing a bipartisan sentencing reform bill. Kardashian didn't want her efforts to end there. "I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fix it," she says. "If I knew more, I could do more." Kardashian did not graduate college, but California is one of the four states that allow applicants to take the bar after a four-year apprenticeship with a lawyer or judge. She's now working her way through a first-year law student's curriculum. If she passes the "baby bar exam" administered by the state, she'll be approved for three more years of study. "To me, torts is the most confusing, contracts the most boring, and crim law I can do in my sleep," she says. "Took my first test, I got a 100. Super easy for me. The concepts I grasp in two seconds."

Why Cuomo chose journalism
CNN's Chris Cuomo isn't going into the family business, said Jeremy Barr in The Hollywood Reporter. Cuomo is the son of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and the brother of the current governor. His career choice was apostasy. "My father was heart-broken when I went into journalism," he says. "He saw the media as a misused political apparatus that was in the business of gotchas and penny-ante interests, without concern for real policy or real implications—especially TV [news]." But Tim Russert, his father's speechwriter, would go on to become a legendary host of Meet the Press, and he encouraged Chris' ambitions. "He raised me," says Cuomo. His combative style has made him a prime-time host on CNN, with 1.3 million people tuning in for his sparring matches with President Trump's defenders. "[Rachel] Maddow's a professor, [Sean] Hannity's a preacher. I was built for the battle," Cuomo says. Still, it's not where Cuomo wants to be, with CNN trailing the more blatantly partisan shows on both Fox and MSNBC. "Any metric you want—relevance, ratings—they're kicking my a--," he says. Cuomo hates the persistent speculation that he'll eventually leave the media to run for office. "What's the story? 'Son of Cuomo, brother of Cuomo. Is he going to get into politics?'" he says. "It's the same story every time."
