erm. being born into extreme wealth & instant fame is the exact opposite of “self made”

starting on 3rd base makes it real easy to get a home run. acknowledging that doesn't take away that person's success or wealth. i'll never understand why people on this app put on capes for folks who don't give a fuck about them. but go off i guess.
i apologize for saying Kylie Jenner was "born into wealth & fame" i totally ignored that she invested HER OWN 250k from modeling jobs she EARNED after using her reality tv checks to get plastic surgery to get modeling jobs & brand endorsements to start her company #SelfMadeWomen
the lesson here is that if your parents have the connections to shop a reality show that launches when you're 10 so you're famous from childhood & have very famous siblings, maybe you too can pull yourself up from your bootstraps & start a company valued at billions #goals
unfortunately when i was a teenager i didn't have Kylie Jenner to look up to. full lips weren't "like a thing" before her. my parents did have Olympic medals, brand endorsements, experience managing online personalities or any experience negotiating licensing deals on sex tapes.
it was wrong of me "come for" a young woman who's sacrificed SO MUCH to chase her dreams of repackage colorpop lip gloss AND put full lips on the map. as a black woman stating facts is really aggressive and threatening to the status quo. i should know better.
please respect my privacy as i take a break from social media to think about how my tweets have negatively affected a "self made" billionaire who's never heard of me. the stans for opening my eyes. the perspective you have given me is worth a thousand kylie lip kits #ad
omg seeeew many typos! thank goodness Kim is prioritizing an edit button for twitter after she ends mass incarceration
