As easy as it is to crap on Paris Hilton, given trauma she survived, I’m actually kinda impressed how well she did in her life.

Read that interview yesterday… makes you think about her slightly differently than before

Does it though? Every single one of us have survived some life-changing childhood drama with varying degrees of severity, but not too many of us act out publicly because of it or ask to have cameras rolling when we do.

she did so well, leading a life of promotion of vanity and desolation, drug abuse and promiscuity. Should we thank her for her contribution to a hyper sexualised world as well ?

As easy as it is to disregard life choices because of trauma, I'm actually kinda unconvinced.
