I couldn't move the next day because I worked so hard moving my shit. It's ruined, and the moving company refused to compensate me. The guy came back just as we were finishing and collapsed into a new $1,300 leather chair and ruined it with a stain from his greasy hair. I took him to an urgent care facility and I came back and served as the second mover myself. He collapsed in some kind of diabetic shock. On moving day, one of my two movers was old. Everyone in my life was so excited for me. And so grateful for it! It was a 10-year battle of will and persistence to find out what was wrong and to fix it. I am actually very healthy and out of pain. I recently found successful treatment and I am SO much better. I've had disabling health problems for a decade. First I started having impulses to cut myself to let tension out and now I am thinking about stepping in front of a bus.
So I'm not *actually* suicidal.Īnd yet I am having self-destructive impulses because my life is just fucking cursed.
The thing is, I thought I wanted to end my life for much of my life and I no longer do. I keep thinking about walking in front of a bus. I just couldn’t allow myself to let that become who I was,” she added. “Despite the hurt and the pain, I just kept going. I started thinking, ‘Yeah, that’s true,’ and it really hurt me for a long time. She’s just a pretty face or her butt is big,’ or whatever they were saying about me. Lopez has long struggled with self-doubt about her career, telling The Post in 2018: “Everybody was like, ‘She can’t sing. “I had to really figure out who I was and believe in that and not believe in anything else,” she forlornly added. I just had a very low self-esteem,” Lopez lamented in a voiceover. In a new trailer for the doc that dropped Wednesday, the actress is seen sobbing in bed after being overlooked for the honor by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The full extent of Lopez’s sorrow is revealed for the first time in the Netflix documentary “Halftime,” set for release next month. Jennifer Lopez put on a brave face after failing to nab a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 2020 Oscars.īut the superstar was secretly devastated by the snub after wowing critics with her role as a scheming stripper in “Hustlers.”
I could definitely see how “Beverly Hills Cop” or a John Hughes movie might also be put forward as the archetypical 80s movie, though.
I was going to say “Say Anything,” but that very late 80s movie in many ways had already made the cultural shift to the 90s, as had movies like “Midnight Run” and “Heathers.”įor me I’d say it’s “Something Wild,” the perfect intersection of 80s Yuppie-ism and party culture, and the two of them crashing together in the form of Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith. I’m American so of course to me the setting would have to be the USA, but of course it’s understandable that a Brit might say something like “My Beautiful Laundrette.”įor me, movies like “Ghostbusters” and “Desperately Seeking Susan” really do it, really take me back to that time and place. So it can’t be set in another time (like “Reds”) or be sci fi or fantasy if they’re set in other times or realities (like Legend or Aliens). I absolutely do NOT mean “best movie made in the 80s,” I mean the movie that really feels the most like the 80s. I thought of crying in my car because I wanted to get my fucking ass up, I wanted to be in that room, I wanted to climb the corporate ladder, whatever. I thought of the extra labor I put into stretching my salary. I spoke to two former employees who worked on the apps and two former employees of KKW Beauty, Kim Kardashian’s cosmetics line, all of whom described an environment of overwork at the expense of their mental and sometimes physical health, as well as their career advancement. When I read Kardashian’s original quote about women not working hard, I thought of the labor I put into launching the Kardashian Jenner Official Apps-days, nights, holidays, weekends, whenever and wherever I was needed. “It seems like nobody wants to work these days.” “Get your fucking ass up and work,” she said. Kim Kardashian-a billionaire, born to a millionaire, who rose to internet-breaking fame on the E! reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians-recently told Variety she had “the best advice” for women in business. “It seems like nobody wants to work these days.” I did-but barely scraped by. “Get your fucking ass up and work,” Kim Kardashian advised women.
