an opinion and also my very first post (:

todays society seems so different than it was when i was just a little one which wasnt that long ago...especially kids.i mean is it just me or is everyone nowadays trying to become a rapper?! it really seems as if little kids went from dressing up as doctors and lawyers to dressing like wayne and jayz overnight. dont get me wrong theres nothing wrong with that i have a lot of i mean respect for musicians and im all about following your dreams but as we all know theres a life after the fortune and fame whether we live that life or we see it on tv and in the magazines. Some people think they can just make it big, get money and live happily ever after. While in a way that could be true it isnt that simple. And alll who have money arent happy otherwise you wouldnt see them getting whisked off to rehab centers..but thats beside the point..musicians do more than make it big and spend money. most write amazing music that people can relate and identify with, give back to charities and their communites, offer advice to upcoming artists you know all that good stuff. But more and more i see them move into other projects.

For example Beyonce, we all love her whether you want to admit it or not. She is known for her amazing voice and while she also is an actress too she has a perfume and also her clothing line which has become rather popular, which are other things she can continue working on when she decides to put down her mic. This goes for any celebrity though and i think its a good life lesson that youve gotta have a backup plan. Another example is one of my favorite supermodels, Tyra Banks. She was on the cpver of several magazines and walked countless runways and, knowing that wouldnt last forever she has her tv shows Americas Next Top Model, The Tyra Show, the show True Beauty that she did with Ashton Kutcher, and her TZONE camp she does.

Anyway i think you get my point. I really think todays younger generations are getting the wrong message and need someone to let them know its okay to have big dreams but make sure you have a backup plan just in case it turns out that the rich and fanous lifestyle was not what you werent meant to do, there are very many people who dont shop at Saks and attend red carpet affairs who are wealthy and live happy healthy lives. You can always get an education or find something else youre passionate about and make something of it. While I do agree that college isnt for everyone, maybe theres someone or something in college you will me or come across that will inspire you. College is more than a secondary education you know, its an experience.

just remember theres just so many other productive things you can do with your life to make you a better person and the world a better place than being seen on the big screen or winning a grammy.

stay gorgeous <3
