Perhaps I am one of the last to know, but wow. I remember when I first heard her singing. I don’t remember what age I was, but I remember it.
Her life was so full of up and downs and was a bit crazy, from what I saw on the covers of magazines and things of the like really. I try not to read into gossip mags and things all too much, but it was there.
It’s scary to think about, she died at the age of 48. The same age my Mother is. The same dang age. Of course now I get that paranoid feeling. As they’ve (my parents) have gotten older, I’ve gotten more worried about their passing. Granted, we don’t spend a lot of time together, nor do we all really talk. But the very idea of losing them makes me sad to think about. My Dad turned 49 this year, and mom will too.
Still, knowing just how easily, and how quickly life can indeed pass for someone. When you remember such a fact. Is such a sad slap back into reality, that sometimes the suddenness is a sickening jolt.
It’s interesting, I used to want to be someone famous so bad. I wanted to sing, and have people listen. But then, you have people watching your every move and word. Judging every last thing you say and do. Even friends and family can give away private information for what seems like the right amount. It makes you wonder,why is it we are so awful to celebrities? Why do we cast so many stones and require to know every tiny aspect of their personal lives?
Sure, they’re people in the limelight. They bring us songs, movies, and tv shows alike. But are they not people too? Don’ they deserve to have things be private? Being able to stop into a Starbucks for coffee without their picture being sold to magazines and thrown on websites where everything from their hair, attire, drink choice, down to their shoes are ripped to shreds by the harshest of critics. As if those who judge them are these perfect flawless beings??
*sigh* heavy thoughts after working so much on homework today. Maybe I should go watch cartoons with the kids instead of dwelling and worrying about the idea that at any moment I could lose just about any member of my family.
Meh. I think I’ll just play Uno on my phone with Bunny.. she’s right here anyway.
