Excuse me!
Sorry, did you say she wasn’t a role model? marilyn is my biggest role model so don’t even go there and let’s not forget this... Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at the popular Mocambo, in Hollywood, because of her race. Marilyn, who loved her music and supported civil rights, called the owner of the Mocambo and told him that if he booked Ella immediately, she would take a front table every night. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. After that, Ella never had to play in a small jazz club again. "She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it." - Ella Fitzgerald about Marilyn Monroe OH SHIT YOU JUST GOT SERVED I got goosebumps reading this. Amazing. (via livefitandhealthy) tumblr MY REFLECTION ON THIS... SOCIAL MEDIA.Either it destroys you,corrupt you or BENEFIT you the most.It all depends what things you chose to believe and absorb.It all depends on how much you let it affect and influence you the most either positively or negatively.
I use to avoid social media because of it's negative effect on me.But when I started blogging pretty much as an outlet of self expression and stress reliever,I realized it had helped me in a ginormous way. Because of social media,I started to consider things in a broader sense.When I read this article about Marilyn Monroe,It shamed me because I was one of those who judge her lifestyle based on the way she dresses herself.I was so fixated on the character she pulled as a celebrity and really never bothered considering she's also a human with a loving heart and a human spirit. I'm awed with people who can see the beauty in others despite how ugly things can get.I have a deep respect and appreciation to people who has the ability to not judge others but still see through the goodness in a persons life. This is a lesson I learn today and I will never ever look at other people again with judgement right on.It would be too hard but I will always remind myself to try to understand why how people behave they way they are. Thank you so much to the person who took all the effort to point this out.
