One Red Hot Country Mama!

I first read this quote about Ashley Judd, believe it or not, and I think there is a lot of truth to it. I don’t really know about her career or about her as a person, but I can imagine that as a star with addiction problems, she must have more than her share of public critisism.

I have been a little off lately, and I think that the thing that has upset the applecart, is the fact that I feel like people are misjudging me. Especially nice people who I like. I am on opposite sides to them, and I can’t do anything to change it. In truth, even for people that I DON’T like that much, I still get frustrated that they misjudge or even hate me. But – what can you do? People will be who they want to be, and it is not up to me to correct some sort of cosmic injustice.

It is especially hard when I don’t deserve it. It bothers me. But, so many things in the world don’t make sense anyway. So many things are unfair – slavery, war, inequality based on race or gender. Why would my life be the one safe harbor that was not that way? If people hate me, they can go ahead, have fun. There is nothing that I can do to change their minds anyway. I guess the only thing that I can do is live my own best life, be as kind and helpful as possible and take it from there. What people think of me is their own business, and they can keep it that way.
