Dreaming of a New Life: A Former Star’s Perspective
As someone who has already experienced a life filled with highs and lows, the idea of starting over can be both exciting and daunting. If given the opportunity to disappear and start a whole new life, what would my life look like?
I would not choose to go back to being just a regular person. Instead, I would aim to live the life of a famous STAR or ICON. At 12 years old, I would start fresh, pursuing my dreams of acting, singing, or dancing. I would make sure to train my body through rigorous exercise and healthy eating, ensuring I grow up tall, healthy, smart, and beautiful. With these attributes, I am confident enough to overcome my fear of speaking or performing in front of an audience, making me an excellent candidate for a career in the entertainment industry.
However, the prospect of starting over again is not one I am eager to embrace. The journey I have already taken has shaped me into the person I am today. My past experiences, though challenging at times, have been part of my journey and have equipped me with valuable lessons and strengths.
A Dream Home and Lifestyle
While I don't wish to start everything from scratch, there are certain aspects of a new life that I would love to create. The ideal setting would be a tranquil and private area, surrounded by 10 acres of land. My home would be nestled in the middle, with the outer parts lined with thick forests, providing a serene and secluded environment. This way, I can walk around outdoors without feeling the need to be fully dressed or among others.
In addition to this natural environment, I would also want to have a successful online business to complement my lifestyle. A spacious ranch-style home with a luxurious pool, jacuzzi, and sauna would offer the perfect place to unwind. Having a fenced area for nesting chickens and fresh eggs, an outdoor range for target practice, and a cozy fire pit for outdoor cooking and entertaining would add to the charm of my home. Fruit trees and plants, along with a flowing spring and a large pond with koi fish and turtles, would create a delightful and peaceful environment.
This setup would allow me to have the best of both worlds. I would be free to socialize whenever I desired, while also enjoying the privacy and solitude that come with a serene, natural setting.
Living My Best Life
Just like the life I am currently leading, it has had its ups and downs, but looking back over the past 68 years, there is not much I would change. The most significant chapter in my life was my disastrous first marriage, which I would prefer to leave behind. Instead, I have been fortunate to build a fulfilling and rewarding life, singing in New York City, marrying my best friend, and later becoming an expatriate in Mexico. Currently, I am rescuing and rehoming homeless street dogs and puppies, which brings me immense joy and satisfaction.
Why would I want to change any of that? Each chapter of my life has been an integral part of who I am today, and I am grateful for every experience, no matter how difficult it may have been.
In conclusion, while the idea of starting over is tempting, the life I have built is one that I cherish. The combination of my dreams, a serene home, and a fulfilling life makes me content with where I am now. I am grateful for the lessons learned and the smile on my face that reflects the love and warmth in my life.
