Being famous means the whole world or a lot of people know you. If I become famous today like right now I will feel a lot of emotions all together. I will be surprised, happy, I will even be scared. I would be happy because being famous means people love what I do, they appreciate me. My family will also be proud of me, my mom (God rest her soul) would throw me praises and make sure that the whole village or town knows that I am her daughter.
Fame is sweet but it is also heavy. I see some video of famous people that before they can go to the market, they have to cover themselves and wear sun glasses so people will not notice them. That's how I will begin to dress if I become famous. Before I became famous, I was free to do anything, chat with my neighbours and laugh, without people poking their noses or starring at me like I am an alien. Being famous will take away that freedom.
For my family it'll be both good and bad. The good part is that it will open doors for us. My husband and kids will proud of me, they will be happy to see me shine. But at the same time, fame will bring stress. People will start saying things about my family both the ones that are true and the ones that are not. Every move we make, everything we do would be judged by people. I would hate to see my loved ones get hurt, that's why I'll not expose them to the fame, people won't know about them.
If we think about it, being famous changes people a lot. Some people forget who they are. They begin to live their lives for the camera and what other people think or might say. Personally, I would not want to loose myself to fame so I'll ask for God's guidance. I love a simple life, peaceful and surrounded by genuine people. Fake friends always come around when you become famous or have money and I don't want such people in my life, you don't know who is wishing your downfall or who is genuinely happy for you.
If I become famous today, I would not let it control me, I will stay true to myself and be myself. I will enjoy the good side of fame and also try to protect my private life. I will not embrace fame completely. I will accept it but I will do very carefully. My peace of mind and my family’s happiness mean more to me than public attention.
This is my response to the episode 3 of this week's prompt with the question: if for some reason or the other, you became famous today, would it be a good thing for you and your family? When you think about how much of your life will be changed by this, is it something you'll happily embrace? Will you work to keep the game? Or will you simply keep your head down, hoping it all blows over?.
