to thank that we are mediocre

This post was actually somewhat related to my previous post.

Two days ago I was reading GoGirl! Magazine’s 6th anniversary edition.

Most of the readers praised this ‘Celebrities and Trends’ themed edition for its thickness, its excessive amount of fashion spread, cute tumbler that was bundled along as a bonus (it was reaaaally cute). It takes some time for me to get to this article: The Down Sides of Celebrities. I personally think this article is the best feature on Celebrity issue, for enlightening about the other side of glamorous celebrities live.

I hardly heard anything about Lindsay Lohan nowadays if it’s not about her being found in her car and was drunken, or having another hangover, or into the rehab all over again. I have never a fan of her and couldn’t care less about her since there is now lot of new comers who shine brighter, making her career seem even duller. But reading on her confession towards Los Angeles Confidential (which is featured in this very article) is just... sad.



“Being an actress is lonely. This industry is very lonely; I tend to get very lonely.”

I like this article for exposing the more personal perspective of a celebrity which known to be 'bad' and make us see that what she did is understandable, although not justifiable. About her confession, it was quite sad actually despite the fact that she once had had good career on Hollywood.

Rihanna confirmed this fact by stating, 

“In this business people are shallow, they are dishonest. You can’t trust them.”

Well, what do you expect? Since the industry is highly lucrative, being celebrity means that you’re going to be worth from what you look and what you do, not personalities. That’s why you can tell these celebs are actually feeling lonely, since there are only few ones who get close to them which are sincere. It may offer what the rest are craving for: fame and money (we know that majorities think that it will take those two to reach happiness and utter satisfaction in life). But in the other hand, celebrities are demanded to let their personal life be accessible as much as possible. Or in other words, it means they will have almost no privacy left for them. Not to mention disturbance from some freakish fans.

Being rich and remain unknown to the world that you are rich individual are better. Still, I think there will be a point when rich people find themselves feeling empty, realized that this is not what they are looking for in life, or ended up troubling themselves anxious about their assets (this is soooo not an ideal way of thinking of a successful yet rich business woman, I know :p). But if some ones are actually pleased living that kind of life, I think it depends on what purpose you expect your life to be.

I myself wouldn’t ask for tons of gold in my safe box or high pile of money.

Isn’t it just sufficient being loved by others and still having some relatives that do care much about us?

We are blessed enough, normal people.
