"Life is going to happen to you no matter what weight you are, no matter how famous you are, no matte..." — Amanda de Cadenet

I think that the friendship that women share is so powerful. In fact, there's nothing quite like it. People talk about mother-child bonds, but I would argue that female friendship bond is also in a league unto its own.

At age 14, you are just beginning to work out who you think you are, and being famous is a huge distortion of reality, and it's not healthy for a young person to be considered more special than their peers. So, I would say it hindered my self-esteem but in later years gave me a great perspective that I wouldn't have if I hadn't experienced that.

I got sick of being famous. It is not a desirable 'job.'

People know what authentic communication feels like, so having someone else handle your social media/commenting doesn't feel honest to me.
