Cost of fame

Everytime I go through a check-out line, I see the tabloid magazines. Each time, I feel pity for the people whose names are splashed all over the covers. That's not to say that I don't envy certain aspects of their life. I understand some people strive to be famous but I wonder if anyone ever really understands the cost of fame until it happens to you. To be judged on your looks & actions every day every moment. Some people say it's worth it but I would avoid that fame (even with the money) to maintain my privacy & ability to live a normal life.

At one time when I was young, I wished I would be a famous singer. Now that I'm older, I'll take the wonderful I'm living where I'm not judged just for living my life. I will keep my happiness & privacy please.

PS - Some may say that I'm giving up my privacy by sharing my life on a public blog. That's not true because I choose what I want to share with friends, family & whomever else may read my blog. This is my choice & I choose what to share with the world.
