Default Re: Tuesday on Oprah

I feel the first young lady, age 24, learned a lot about acceptance for who you are and not for what you have. She thought all the movie stars were actually paying for all the expensive clothes they were wearing or the cars and other perks they had until she heard the movie stars say they were given these things. I thought she came from a wealthy family but she said her family wasn't rich at all. Her father said he had to bail her out of $160,000.00 worth of debt. Someone had money to fund her desires and how she was able to keep up with the stars and have all those shoes and wardrobe and Yorkshire pups I don't know. She even wanted to become a size 2 because most stars are that size, she said. Selling all of that to pay her debt would be better than just giving the stuff away. She said she was spending $3,000.00 a month trying to keep up with the newest trends. Oprah told her movie stars get a lot of items for free because of who they are. The dress designer also said he knew all the stars and that their lives were far from famous! I believe people have a fantasy about living like stars and forgetting that these movie stars are actually human like we are! That they have zits and cellulite but we just don't see it on magazine covers, posters or the movie screens.

I agree with the psychologist, Robin, "I don't want to be around people who don't accept me for who I am." You really to have to get in touch with the real you and ask yourself why do you need or desire other people's approval before you can live.
