It's no secret the world's full of jealous losers who lose their minds over shit they can't have. Anyone even slightly successful deals with it. This is actually deep philosophy. Takes real wisdom to realize all your achievements & credentials are buried in the dirt & scandals thrown at you... and all that dirt is literally proof of those achievements. If no one's ever spread rumors about you, only one reason: you're a nobody. You don't matter. I didn't fully get it before, but it clicked later. People make up shit & seethe with jealousy cuz of what you have that they don't, especially the stuff you were born with that they'll never touch in their whole life. The bigger & crazier your success, the crazier the scandals. It's not even a big deal. Living right in the eye of the storm, constantly at the center of controversy for a whole lifetime, that's probably my dream.
