I’m in my 30’s now. I used to idolize famous people like there was no tomorrow! I grew up as Christian, but I had so many years of my life where I totally ignored God. That was a time when I was trying to emulate famous people in order to feel powerful. I wanted to be as skinny as possible and make myself look more like famous people every day. I really learned with life experiences. I learned how life is simply not all about fame or how much money a person has. That is an extremely simplistic view of our life on planet earth.

When I see famous people talking about mental health issues or about health issues in the world, its very ironic. They can somehow amass so much wealth while everyone else is struggling more and more. Aren’t they adding to the mental health problems of people in society? Aren’t they taking too much money home while everyone else struggles to pay health care costs? I don’t know why people around them don’t question their sense of entitlement in the world today.

I hear about the same issues in society that keep getting worse. I really started to question why I keep hearing from famous people and their political opinions while problems continue to worsen. It would simply be wonderful if we lived in a world where there is financial equality. But that has never happened since the beginning of time. Hence, that is why I started to believe in Jesus more.

“Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle.”
