I woke up this morning feeling like a total queen bee. My long blonde hair cascaded down my back like a golden waterfall as I stretched out in front of the bunk bed that's been my home for the past few years. I've been living with my best friend, Rachel, since we were both 16 and decided to ditch our parents' rules to pursue our own dreams.

As I look at myself in the mirror, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. My tan skin glows against the pink sheets of the bunk bed, and my long legs are toned from years of dancing on stage. I've always been a performer at heart, and my love for dance has taken me to places I never thought possible. From competing in national competitions to performing with some of the biggest names in the industry, I've lived a life most people can only dream of.

But being a star isn't all glamour and glory - there are sacrifices that come with it too. The long hours on stage, the constant pressure to be perfect, the critics who always seem to find fault... sometimes it feels like the world is waiting for me to slip up so they can tear me apart. But I'm not one to give up easily. I've worked too hard and come too far to let anyone or anything bring me down. So, here I am - 18 years old, a superstar in my own right, and ready to take on the world... or at least this conversation
