gLimpSe of fAme...
when i was still in grade school, i would often write on a slumbook, opposite the entry "ambition" i would inscribe the phrase "to be someday someday" for as an innocent little girl, i wanted to be fAmOuS, to be known throughout wherever my world would be several years thereafter. Naive as i was, i wanted so much to be popular.
Now more than a decades later, in college, i still have the same dream-- sometimes...
Gaining experiences and knowledge of my own, i have lEaRned that pOpUlaRity is not all about the perks. It is not everrything it is cRacKed up to be. When you are well known, when people greeting you in the corridors, when you have almost everyone smilling at you in the hallways, chances are you are really alone. For not everyone who knows me in the tRuEst sense, a great number of these people are into me for a riDe.Time also stands againts me.I seems to have time for colleagues,for events, for "friEndS", but never for myself.
I grasp the haard fact that i barely know myself,that i become someone completly afar from who i really expect and become a slave to something i cannot control anymore. That`s when i would know that ive fallen the "hEx" of fame.
Some would think that i as someone belonging to the "inner circle" i am lucky, that people bow down to my every wHim. But it is a rOttEn feeling. I never wanted to trampled over other people.
Losing track of the simplicities of my life and now fame fading shade on me, i was faced with two realities, i am popular, but i am alone second i dont need fame if being alone is the price of i have to pay for it.
