I’m sure you all know the headlines, It’s all over the news, radio stations, magazines, and the internet, so here I am I figured let me put my two cents in. Just a warning to you before you continue reading if you are expecting gossip and bashing of her character you might as well log off, because this is NOT that kind of blog.
I am not an avid viewer of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but I have watched episodes of Kim’s relationship with her now soon to be ex-husband Kris Humphries and I myself said I didn’t think they will work. Though I do believe Kimberly was in love I kind of think that she was in love with the idea of being in love. I am pretty sure some of us can relate, we meet that “perfect” guy he says those great things you want to hear and your heart just skips a beat when you see him, you feel like a school girl in love when he texts you cute messages and you hear his voice so you blow off the red flags.
What I’ve noticed as most of America probably noticed as well is that, Kim and Kris are in two different places in their lives and what they value, and I am not referring to age. Before I continue I would like to remind you that although their lives are filmed, the camera does not film everything so we only know and see what the cameras want us to see…Okay back to my take on the situation, Kim works hard as an entrepreneur and she takes her job seriously what she works for she wants to see the fruits of her labor so she purchases lavish items, these items represent her hard work and dedication “Hint the tantrum in Bora Bora @ the beach”. Kris on the other hand works hard but preserves his money for important purchases, he’s a laid back, take life as it comes kind of guy.
In my observation of television talk show and radio everyone talk about Kim as if she were not a person they talk about how dysfunctional her family is, how she is only famous for her scandal with Ray Jay, and they speak so vulgar about her body and the “only thing she is good for”…I hope you get the picture. What we fail to realize is situations like this happens on a daily basis, the only difference is your lives are not being played out on television. We sit around and glorify celebrities as if they hold the standards for our lives, we act as if we have never made mistakes, but as soon as a celebrity does something wrong life as you know it is over. How many of you come from dysfunctional families? How many of you have dumb stuff as a teenager that you are trying to make up for? How many women do you think are out there who have gotten married because of the idea of marriage and being in love? How many beautiful single women do you think are looking for love to have a man wrap his arms around her and say I Love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you? How many women do you think find it hard to balance work and personal life?
Sometimes in life we don’t make the right choices, what we thought would work just doesn’t anymore. It happens in our personal lives and in business. Am I justifying Kim’s divorce? No, I am simply saying we all know when something isn’t right about any relationship or opportunity. Of course we have some sort of family dysfunction that causes a glitch in our thinking capacity, but who doesn’t? I personally am praying for Kim Kardashian because I could never imagine such scrutiny and every other celeb that goes through such scandal. Yeah, they put their lives out there, but do we really have to take it to such extremes? I guess that’s why I’m not in radio and television.
Lesson: No one is exempt from scrutiny, everyone has a past, and we all make bad decisions. Before we open our mouths we should look too our own circumstances, and sympathize with those who are hurting and pray for those who feel lost.
These are just my thoughts…
Blessings!
