Why Celebrities Are Overrated

I will be me despite who society tells me to be.

Why Celebrities Are Overrated

Have you ever heard the question 'If your life was a movie, which actor/actress would you want to be you in that movie?'

Well, to me, this question is overrated. We spend most of our time admiring and comparing our lives to those who have the "celebrity" status instead of what is happening around us. We see all of those celebrities in movies, TV shows, concerts, and more.

Now I admit that I am guilty of this myself, but do we all realize that they are still human and doing their jobs like the rest of us? Yes, their jobs include making music, playing a role on TV or a series, traveling the world, and going to award shows.

When you go to a grocery store you see a bunch of magazines containing the latest gossip about the biggest celebrities around like Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and so many more. When did we all start caring more about what the Kardashians are doing than how we are living our lives?

Why do some people care that their life is not just like one of the celebrities' so much that they are willing to go through major surgeries to look like them? When did this become the norm?

Even though I watch movies and TV shows, listen to music and go to concerts (which are fun to go to and fun to watch), I will not live my life to be exactly like the celebrities. Each of us are unique and different, we are not meant to be the same and live our lives exactly like the other.

I will dress the way I want and not let today's society tell me that it is not acceptable to wear it because it is not cool. I will listen to the music that I like and watch the shows that I like no matter how unpopular it is by most of society. I will vote for who I believe would be the better candidate. I will be me no matter who society tells me who I should be.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
