The Last True Role Models

So I'm staring at a picture of Jessica Alba on my desktop and I'm wondering, "How many people look up to celebrities?"

When you think about it, Derek Zoolander wasn't too far off. "Models help people. They help them to look good." Actually, maybe it was Meekus who said that.

But, seriously, what if that's true? A person's image is so important today, how they look, act, dress, what they say, and so on. What if those in the spotlight were all we had left to aspire to? People have their inspirations from others around them, but there is always a more symbolic kind of ideal, a higher ideal to aspire to.

What if celebrities were the last true role models?

I want to be part of this group of people. Honestly, that is a reason why I want to be an actor, which is probably why I'm having trouble dedicating my life to it. Maybe I really want to just help people in the most positive way.

But I'd still like to be in pictures.

Maybe I'll end up being that kind of person, celebrity or not. At least I should try.
