Memorable Passage

I would never smoke, I always say that for me, smoking would be like smashing my guitar and expecting it to play... I'd never do that to my voice, not to mention the rest of my body.

This is a passage from a book called 'Miles to Go' by Miley Cyrus.

Back then when the book came out in March 2009, I was fourteen. I had always looked up to Miley so when her book came out, of course, I had to have it. We went on holiday to Orlando, Florida in May that year and buying that book was the first thing I did.

I completely agreed with her when I read the passage about smoking. I would never do that. I don't have a guitar to smash, or a beautiful singing voice to ruin but I would never smoke. It is just something that I have never felt the need for.

As the whole world knows, Miley has changed a lot. And for the worst. She has not lived up to what she wrote and she doesn't make that a secret. Recently, she spent seven hours in a coffee shop in Amsterdam. Seven! Safe to say: I don't agree with her decisions.

Knowing what she has turned out to be reminds me that I have to stay myself. She started off as a fresh, young, beautiful girl with big dreams.She did well for so long but constantly feeling the pressure of being in the public eye must have gotten to her. I don't believe that, if she were just a normal she would have done the same things. She was like a caged bird and now she is singing to get out.

  1. It's really a shame the way Miley has been putting herself out there lately...She's a talented entertainer. I like the connection you made between her dealing with the pressures of a life in the spotlight and the caged bird screaming to get out.

    And I'm with you--smoking has never had an appeal for me.
