![“[2010] was a rough year. Between my divorce and the other things I went through, a lot happened. It's hard for anyone to go through that in public. But when you're a celebrity and under a microscope, it's 58 million times harder. I grew an even thicker skin after that hard year.” quote by Christina Aguilera](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f61/christina-aguilera-930_divorce_2010-was-a-rough-year-between-my-divorce_116574.jpg)
