Found this very interesting article/blog...makes an interesting read😛
Unhealthy celebrity obsessions
The announcement was shocking to celebrity watchers around the globe. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were separating! But the reaction of a lot of normally sane individuals was just as surprising if not more shocking. People wanted to know what happened. Fans and not-so-big fans wanted to know about the nuances of celebrity marriages. Why weren't they working? People wanted to do something to help Brad and Jen, or people just wanted to shake their heads in disappointment. There is a global feeling of unrest. There is war and death and a sense that things are just not that fair in many, many countries around the globe. But with all that going on, there are some serious Michael Jackson fans that are in an absolute tizzy that he is being tried in court and in the media for something that he just 'couldn't of done'. But why does anyone care about Brad, Jen, or Michael Jackson that much? There is an obvious obsession with celebrity that is proven everyday by the sales of celebrity gossip and entertainment magazines. Mainstream magazines have even begun using celebrities on their covers instead of models. But when have you gone too far with your celebrity obsession? If you need to have access to your celebrity of choice through a combination of media sources including: magazines, television, movies, internet, fan clubs, letter writing, phone call attempts etc., then you are spending entirely too much time trying to get closer to a celebrity. The reason why this can be such a problem is because all the time you are spending researching, watching, and monitoring this person's life is just a simple subconscious maneuver to avoid dealing with your own life. 1. Are you happy at work or school? 2. Are you happy with yourself? 3. Are you having trouble with friends/family? 4. Do you have meaningful relationships? 5. Do you live a life of mediocrity? 6. Did you believe you would be at a different place in your life by now? 7. Do you like where you live? Do you wish you could move away? 8. Are you a physically active person? Or do you spend most of your time at home on the couch? 9. Do you think that celebrities must possess a certain special something to be where they are which you do not possess? 10. Are you or have you ever been mentally or physically ab*sed?

The key to ending any unhealthy preoccupation/obsession is to try and recognize the bigger problem with you. What issue(s) are you avoiding? What is causing you so much pain that you need to escape on a daily basis? Once you have solved that mystery about your own psyche, you will find much healthier things to focus your energies on and live a much more rewarding life.

What if I have an obsession with myself? Will I then be suffering with all of those above questions in regards to other humans in the society? :P

DAMMIT! That proves it. I should want what everybody else wants or at least what everyone else SAYS I should want.
My only interests should be in things that I can immediately reach. NO ASPIRATIONS BEYOND THE END OF MY BLOCK----unless it involves making money and then it's okay to aspire to something not right under your effing nose..right? RIGHT?
Seems so.
Hey it's only "unhealthy" if it worries you. If it's something or someone you want----hell go for it! They can only say no...or maybe yes...and guess what, in spite of their job they are just as human as you are so enjoy.
Life is WAAAYYY too short to limit your obsessions to some boring loser in the next cubicle just because you can hear his phone conversations every day.

Matt Damon's wifey is probably rolling her eyes at this article.😆 She was just a single mother/bartender in Miami before he swept her off her feet and married her.

Did she think she would actually marry Matt Damon one day?😆
