We’ve grown up with them, followed them on every form of social media, and enjoyed their talents for decades. They are given the name “celebrities” for their specific hobbies, but to some, they are just people, people with worldly advice, knowledge, and compassion. But how many of us have actually applied what our adored celebrities have to say about actual lives? They are more than just the faces on the screens. They are more than just the people we stalk on social media. They are genuine people who have endured real-life events. They are people who have hearts and consciences, people who have learned from the worst and still become the best. They have advice to give. Maybe it’s time to start listening.
