on having been a celebrity or historical figure
first there is nothing there
then there is something, and you get lost in the glamour
then people berate you for getting lost in the glamour and basically tell you you are full of it
then you decide to believe what they say, it couldn't happen and you were full of it
----------------------------------------------------
much later you understand that buying the idea you were full of it is just as dangerous as getting lost in the glamour... you are lost either way.
So you begin to entertain it the way you would yesterday's breakfast... it happened, and you know what you ate, but what is the big deal either way?
while knowing all the while... if you could only get back to the place where there was nothing there everything would be perfect.
