Haha, Guess What? xD

I have been thinking a lot about a quote from Princess Diaries II. The guy says to his nephew, “Power, my boy, means never having to say ‘I’m sorry’.”

This has become an important thought in my mind, and I believe it to be very true, as interesting as it may seem, and I think that is why famous people have such a hard time. They don’t have to do it. They have no reasoning, no obligation to be kind. Kindness is not what they are paid for, nor what they are recognized for. Nobody expects kindness from them, least of all themselves. The power, fame, and unnecessary need for kindness gets to their heads. It is an insane thing for a person to have, sometimes overnight, and is certainly too much for a person.

But in retrospect, I think that anyone who is famous and manages to keep their cool, and gives to charities willingly and with a giving heart, can be counted in my mind as one of the most beautiful people ever. As I have studied opera singers and learned about them, despite their ‘diva’ reputation, are nothing as they are made out to be. Some are divas in a sense, but not the dictionary definition that we are used to. I feel confident that in this career I will be among hard-working singers, ones who live to sing, but do not have that horrible attitude that so many of us assume they have.

My writing on this blog has become so one-track, lately. All I talk about anymore is fame, singing, opera, all of those things nobody really wants to read about. But right now, this is my life. This is where things are going, and I am feeling a sudden rush of excitement mixed with fear at this idea. I don’t know if I will ever be worthy, or good enough. There is always someone better, no matter how good you are. The chances of coming out of top is….well, impossible, really. I can’t ever hope to achieve it. If that is my attitude, then I will come to horrible, jealous ideas, trying to push others down until in my eyes I came out on top. It isn’t really a contest, but at the same time, it is. You just really can’t be on top. As sad as it is, everybody cannot be on top, so your goals have to be a little bit lower. No—different. You can’t compare yourself with others, it is a personal thing. You have to do your very best, and nothing can ever be better than that. Just give your whole soul to whatever you want to be, and you are sure to achieve it.
