It’s been a huge year for Khloe Kardashian. How devastating it must have been to have found out her partner, Tristan Thompson, was cheating on her just one week prior to giving birth to their daughter True.

Armchair critics screamed Kardashian should have left Thompson but it was older sister Kourtney who put it into perspective for all of us, citing her baby sister had another little life to think about right now. Now though, it seems Kardashian is ready to fend for herself.

The reality star, 34, was called out by several Instagram users for using Photoshop on one of her images – a black-and-white picture of her and her mother Kris – but Kardashian was having none of it. “Sometimes I wonder why people comment if it adds no value to one’s life? Maybe I’m just different… but I don’t care to be negative or passive aggressive. Our world is toxic enough as it is. It’s sad to care to criticize something like an editing app,” Kardashian responded to one user.

“Let it go baby. Say something nice or just let it go. Don’t add to the hatred in the world. How does this serve you love?” she continued. But it was one final blow that gave a little insight into Kardashian’s strong mind-frame heading into the new year.

“I believe everybody is beautiful in a multitude of ways! But by all means I don’t think anything on the outside makes us beautiful. My soul radiates kindness, beauty, love etc. You have no idea how proud I am of myself for everything that I’ve been through and I still radiate love! My soul is what I’m taking with me.”

And there is just no arguing with that.

Editor’s note: Kardashian teased a family Christmas card would be coming “very shortly”, something her sister Kim said wasn’t happening this year. Stay tuned.
