observations on celebrity and public access

if tabloid news has any insight to offer,
it’s that going public
with your private life
makes you crazy.

so why are people voluntarily opening themselves up,
turning their lives inside out,
and ignoring the negative consequences
of public consumption?

is it because we’ve all been entrained
to aspire to fame,
isn’t that what we all want?

you’d better figure out what you’re doing
because whatever you put out there
will mark you, lock you in
and sooner or later
you’ll lose control
