8 bodyguards and even that wasn’t enough!
I love what I do but I hate what it comes with. People forget that you’re human and instead treat you like an object! https://t.co/KVvBlACISG

Went to bed with such a heavy heart. It’s all good now or at least it will be.
I need 2stop talking about last night coz it upsets me so much that I end up crying all over again.
Not because I am weak but because of how angry I actually am!
Bottom line? I AM NOT AN OBJECT!!!— 𝔻𝕁 𝕃𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕖𝕫 ℍ𝕠𝕝𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕥𝕙𝕪 (@LamiezHolworthy) May 16, 2021
