13 years and for what?

- A number.
Who would have ever thought my life would be pinned down and determined by a number. I know that this number will eventually be nothing more than a few figures somewhere down the line, but right now it holds the power to destroy me and my dreams or let something amazing come out of it. Although moping around and stressing over something that is completely beyond my control, which was once in fact in my control, won't really change anything. I guess in the end, there really isn't anyone I can blame except me.

FAME AND FORTUNE.

Actors and actresses spend their whole lives, or whatever of it, 'pretending' to be someone else. I've always wondered that in the process of wearing the identity of someone else, do they lose connection with the person they are? Or perhaps, is it that we never truly come to learn the identity of the person they really are because we get sucked into believing that the character they star as in movies or sitcoms is the person they are? Thus, upon viewing their interviews, the person they choose to sport really isn't them but rather, it is a concealed person leaving us lost in the dark, unable to pinpoint the nature or person they are after having seen them behind this mask hey have put on for society to see. Having said that, maybe the same can be said about celebrities, just to be a little broader. They are, what society deems, 'idols'. So they too, have to confine themselves as a whole, into this physical embodiment of what society has considered and concocted to be the definition of an 'idol'. Maybe fame and fortune after all, isn't that great. I mean, not being able to be yourself and perhaps even losing yourself in the process of confinement and 'fraud' comes at a big price.

YOU DEFINE THE PERSON I AM.

Sometimes I feel that as human beings, we feed and live off the compliments received from other parties. They boost our self esteem and these egotistic statements consequently extend from our interior, giving rise to our exterior embodiment and from this, we grow from them and become a "better" version of ourselves. However, these compliments we receive inhibit our vision and we fail to see are the downfalls of our traits. We let these aspects that hold us back and deprive them of time and dedication which could further enhance and shape the person we are. We are so caught up and focused on working on the things people notice and forget that the parts of us no one notices, are also aspects that need working on too, to help us develop a stronger character.
