The truth about fame

The struggles of fame
      You see rich and famous people on TV. You see them walk down the red carpet. You see them in fancy clothes. You see them in limos. You want to walk in their shoes, but little do you know, that there’s a downside to everything. 
   You’re always being watched. You never get a little privacy in your life. Fans constantly watch what you do. The paparazzi finding your home and taking pictures. You just want to be left alone. Stalkers try to hunt you down. People are too obsessed with you. 

Then, people start rumors about you. About how you are off-screen. What you eat, how you’re selfish and rude. You have to constantly keep a good reputation from haters and judgemental people. 
   You can’t do anything an average person can’t either. You can’t go for a walk in the park. You can’t go swimming at a local pool. You have to do everything privately. Worst of all, you don’t even know who truly cares about you. You can attract fake people with all that money and fame you have. Only people who want to use you for their own interest. 
Now you know that everyone who walks down the red carpet isn’t as happy as they seem.

  • The Woman

     I remember walking home from school one day with my best friend. We were having a funny conversation, and we were both really happy. When we had walked about half of what we were supposed to walk, this woman came out of her house. 
  • The secret

    Sometimes, you have a secret that you don’t want anyone to know. You want to hide it from the world, no matter who it is. From your family, and your friends, nobody can know about it.
