Engage in Reflection

One of the negative sides of being a celebrity is the unending pressure to balance one’s personal interests and career demands. When celebrities have already achieved sound time management and even a nurturing family, other factors would continue to add pressure.

On the career side, the public would always compare celebrities. Sometimes, celebrities would merely tolerate such comparisons, but when the rivalry among fandoms escalates, even if celebrities will not admit it, they too get affected. On the personal side, once a celebrity is found out to be on a relationship, netizens will keep badgering when the couple will get married and once a couple is married, hundreds of queries will be posted on when they will have a child. As celebrities are humans, they could sometimes allow themselves to be affected.

When Talented Personality (TP) said she wanted to go on vacation, her fans knew she really needed to go on a much-needed break. She has been working non-stop given her local and international commitments. Then, there’s the pressure for her to live up to her image, which she actually is doing. One day, she made an announcement that made everyone smile and wish for the best for her family.

The excitement was too much to contain and TP let the public peek into her personal choices. She started to prepare for things she would need. Naturally, some netizens were relentless in giving her advice and even would go as far as giving a lecture on her outfits. To such comments, TP responded calmly and assured them that she has everything under control.

After a few days, TP posted a painful message, which gained her sympathy and understanding. Even if no words could console TP, her family, friends, and fans gave her moral support as she was about to go through a difficult time. In a snap, TP went off the social media radar. Such was a sign that TP was hit hard by the recent personal crisis. She withdrew from her commitments as well as getting into social media. The vacation became a reality, and this time, her partner put his foot down and apparently reminded her to take it easy, as family is more important than an image or a career. After all, TP has everything and does not need to prove anything anymore. The personal event positioned her in a period of reflection, and everyone knew that she has much time until she gets back to her old self, that is, if ever she decides to be in the limelight soon.
