Greetings!
As much as fame is good and beautiful to the outside world, I think I have my own reservation about fame as I would not love or go for anything that would affect my freedom in life.
Due to my type of a person who has always enjoyed his privacy without being tampered with or interfered with, I don't think I would love to live a life of fame.
Although, I love to watch how people who are famous live their lives and I can boldly say that I too always want to live or be like them, but seeing this topic in the @Hivelearners, I tried to check and think about if I would love to live a famous life and after thorough checking and thoughts, I realized that I might not be in for such a life.
The reasons for this are not far fetched. Looking at the lives of most of the famous people in our public space, I realized that most of them are not really living their lives but the lives of the public. In fact, I can say that they only live for the public and not for themselves or their families and that's why they easily make the headlines on all their actions which to me I might not be able to bear as such.
Although, wealth would not inform you and I before coming to us, but if at all it comes and I have no way of turning it down, all I would do is to live my life without pay attention to what people are willing to know about me, criticize or praise me for, I would just live by myself alone and I know with time, people would know me for who I am or who I wanted them to know me for which I think would be my best way of handling my fame.
However, if I have the opportunity of turning it down, then there's would be no second thought to that for me as I would always love to live for myself and my family and not to live alone, but to live to fulfil my purpose in life and also influence as many lives I can without being noticed or disturbed by the media, both the social and the print media and the public at large as I would not love to be criticized or praised for any of my actions.
To me, to live a life of fame is to sell your personality and privacy to the public and the funny thing is that for you to get or buy it back to yourself might be so difficult to do and for this reason, I will choose to eat my kind of food than to eat to please others, also, I would like to say out my mind, than to speak to favour others and I would also love to choose who I want to be friends with than to go out with the wrong people all in the name of being famous.
I'm not saying being famous is bad, but as for me I would love to keep my head down and enjoy my life rather than be out there smiling and in my closet, be disturbed. Although we have some famous people out there managing their affairs, which I would love to do if I have no other option.
