I'm sorry. I promise.

I'm sorry.
I promise.

Those two phrases are used so much as an excuse.
Apologizing and making a vow.

I'm sorry.
Saying sorry does not fix anything. If you are truly sorry, you would make up for it and fix the problem. Do not sit there and repeat the word over and over again like it's a magic spell that will fix your problems. Because it won't.Sorry is just a word.

I promise.
Just a word binding a vow in place. Does it really? How many times have promises been broken? The so-called powerful promise is constantly destroyed by the misuse of the word. That is why I don't believe in promises until I see it. There are few I would truly trust with a promise-because they have never failed me. A promise is just a word.

Think carefully before you say any of those two phrases.

Shining Stars- Pop Stars- Movie Stars- and Starstruck?

I've watched a Disney movie before called Starstruck. Here's an overview:

A girl's sister is obsessed with a movie/music star(portrayed by Disney's Sterling Knight). The girl HATES him. She thinks he's nothing but some guy. But one day, she bumps into him and hurts her head. The music star thinks it's such a hassle, and acts as if he is so much better than her. At some point, he ends up hurting her feelings by telling the public that they've never met.

 Well!

This is what the main character, Jessica Olsen, says:
You just take a normal guy and build him up as some amazing person who's really just like all of us. You bring him up high, just to knock him back down for fun.

Here's me:
That's true. It's the first time I've seen a movie like that, that truly addresses what a star's life must be like. I think that movie stars and famous singers have to build up a fake "person", a mask, to hide who they really are. If they slip up, if they show their imperfection, the crowd will roar at that person who is so high up, and knock them down. But do the actors in the Starstruck movie themselves know what it's really like? Can they see themselves back at the level of an average, everyday person like you and me?

Fame corrupts you. You think you are so much better than everyone else.It'd be real interesting to see every famous person become average, unrich, non-popular and have less privileges, and not have fans screaming for them. I wonder how they'd feel, to not be famous. Do they remember what it's like to have been one of us?

Entry #1...ABOUT

To ask ANY question for me to write about, post a comment here. ONLY HERE so the other posts don't have comments that don't have to do with that post. HERE is the place for questions for me to answer.

Not all questions will be from my viewers- and not all posts will answer a question. Maybe I will say something about the world, about school, even about you. And some posts will definitely  go a bit off topic, maybe about art and photography and my woes. O__O If you come up with an awesomesauce idea, I will write about it. 

This is the place for a question you are too embarrassed to ask others because you think it's uncool, or something really pressuring, or maybe just something you were really wondering about like "why are people like this? why am I like this?"

Hence, Ask the World- or Ask Me. Anything and Everything.
And angels do exist.

Why might I use "angels do exist" in my URL? Because just maybe, there are people out there who really have wings and halos that they hide from us. Or maybe there are those amazingly kind souls who ARE angels.

Over and Out,
