Every little girl grows up wanting to be a star. Whether its an actress, a model, or a singer the idea of being in the spot light and having everyone know your name seems incredible. However, what you don't realize when you're five modeling off your beauty in the beast underwear in the mirror (so not me) is that you don't just get positive attention, you get negative attention. Your life is a show to everyone whether it's your divorce, being too fat or too thin, or being in rehab it's for everyone to know. Your personal space and privacy are stripped away from you, leaving you naked to the rest of the world. You would miss out on the simple joys of life like going to the grocery store, playing with your daughter at the park, or going shopping because people would be following you and pointing at you. Normal starts to look a lot better when your life becomes every one else's business. Now, the exception to this is if you're doing something you love. Paris Hilton does absolutely nothing to make it to the tabloids, and frankly i think she's too dumb to feel shame, but if you're Meryl Streep and you wouldn't have it any other way then to be an actress the rest is worth it. Growing up in Los Angeles and getting over being star struck has allowed me to look past the fame and realize these people are real with real problems. I know that despite the success and the fact that my five year old self would slap me across the face, I wouldn't want that for my own life.
