No One Should Idolize Celebrities.
No one realizes it, but celebrities are among the most insecure people out there. Most celebrities are in need of constant validation and have to continuously morph themselves into what others want them to be, just to stay relevant. Aside from their glamorous image, behind the scenes their lives consist of constantly having to ‘put on’ and create fake drama in order to harness a temporary reaction from their audience.
It’s normal to seek inspiration from successful people who influence fashion, art, music or a more successful, desired lifestyle, but to idolize or model yourself after a total stranger just because they’re aesthetically pleasing, rich or popular, is a big no no. Not only are you wasting time warped in an illusion, you’re literally getting scammed by being over-invested in their fake drama and lives (the illusion they show you on social media).
Remember with fame, not all that glitters is gold. These people are not always how they present themselves to be. Take celebrities off the pedestal and instead of obsessing over them, invest your time and energy into your own life.

Missing that one person that you feel like you shouldn't miss is okay too. Even if it has been way too long since the end. Doesn't mean you haven't moved on. Its just human nature to miss what was. Don't be too hard on yourself for merely being human.
More importantly, there were so many times that you could have reached out to them in a moment of weakness. But each time you didn't, each time you stopped, you resisted the strong pull of nostalgia and prioritized yourself above all else, and I am so proud of you for doing that.
