Dazharia Shaffer, the rising TikTok star known online as Bxbygirlldee, committed suicide on Monday. She was 18. Despite her 1.8 million followers on TikTok, and thousands more on Instagram and Twitter, she still wasn't happy. I wonder why.
Could it be because Cardi B, a former stripper who admits to bringing men back to her hotel after her show, then drugging and robbing them, is today worth $24 million earned from showing off her giant boobs and rapping about rape and niggas and hit me upside the head, while decent, hardworking people who toil ceaselessly as doctors and nurses in Covid-19 wards are barely eking out a living?
Or maybe she heard that "stimulus" checks from the government to help families pay their monthly expenses are also being sent to every prisoner, even those sentenced to life and those on Death Row, where their money only stimulates illegal drug trading.
Perhaps it's because Dazharia was confused by the grown-ups who are supposed to be intelligent. Those elected to do the business of running America, allegedly the world's "best nation," are spending their time impeaching a man who is no longer in office.
Any one of these things is enough to depress the hell out of a young, impressionable girl just starting out in the world. Fortunately I am now old enough to realize that nothing matters except how you treat others and especially how you treat yourself. All the rest is just show business.
