Oh, the celebrity life. Fame, fortune, and thousands of fans that absolutely adore you. Everyone knows your name. Everyone wants to take your picture. Your famous. Anyone who's anyone wants to be you. Isn't that amazing? What those people don't know, however, is the life behind the riches. What we celebrities actually have to go through every single day.
They all think it's a walk in the park, that we have it easy. Really, they are all wrong. We go through so much shit, it's crazy. We actually go through far more depression cases than your average person. We go through so much addiction to ease the pain that no one really seems to understand. Drugs are big, everyone usually has a dealer on their speed dial. Alchohol is spread into a bottle of whiskey or wine a day. The pressure of being skinny causes some of us to go anorexic, or the pressure can cause us to over eat, and we blow up like a balloon, which makes our reputation go out of the window. Sometimes, we even get to the point of going into a suicidal mode.
No one understands why. Sometimes we don't even understand. But it's there. It's always there... And it's a definite problem. Not that every celebrity goes through this kind of shit. Some of them try to be happy and normal... or conceited. None the less, they don't have any problems, or have them, but ignore them at any cost.
The press doesn't help, either. The tabloids lie every day, putting out some far-fetched rumor that people sometimes actually believe. There's only a couple actual magazines that find it right to tell the truth. But it's really up to the reader to choose what they really believe. Only the actual person the event happened to alone knows the truth of what really occurred. It's not only the stories, but the paparazzi are always wherever you are, right up in your face.
That's not saying that we don't like choosing to become famous. Some were forced into the business since birth by their parents, but for most of us, we strived towards our goal. Our dream. Fantasy. It's what we wanted. And it does have it's up days. At first, more ups than downs. But on the days that're down, I don't remember ever being so depressed in my life.
This life is like a game. Which path will you choose? You'll never know right away which's the right one. But sooner or later, you'll realize the truth. There's only one question that I have left for you, my dear friends...
Can you handle it?
