Blessing to live a "normal" life

I think it is a gift to be born into a normal life that never takes a zig-zag turn for the famous or the exorbitantly rich. However stuck in dreamland my average life leads me to be, it is a blessing to have a true identity rather than a persona built by paparazzi. Although it may seem my life is lacking in glitz compared to that of the financially privileged, the public eye is often blind to the airbrushed and empty everyday. Although it seems I am more physically flawed, those in the lime light have a time-hungry beauty, painted and pinched into the mold. They sell out. They role play. Cameras flash and capture only a piece of the real picture that is them. In contrast, when I greet you eye to eye I hope we not only see, but feel-everything that is genuine about each other.
