It was easy to persecute me without people feeling ashamed.

I don't put too much stock in fame or celebrity anyway. I don't put it in the 'important' box. ↗

I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness. ↗
