In her book, her personality is extremely evident. She
shares a series of short stories from her life that give you insight to her
personality and how she has dealt with life’s challenges. I have a deep appreciate
for her determination to remain true to herself. She did not try to cover
anything up. She was very honest about her experiences: the good, the bad, and
the ugly. I found her book very refreshing because we can all relate to her
experiences in some capacity and it is comforting to know that we are not the
only ones going through those situations. When an individual is put into a
similar situation like Anna it is really easy to be changed by the fame. I thought
it was really telling when Anna talked about red carpet events and how she felt
like she was not herself because she was wearing outfits she could not afford. I
found this interesting because people do not usually talk about this because
they want the illusion to remain intact but Anna did. In a nutshell she said
that I am just a girl from Maine in a really expensive dress that I did not pay
for and at the end of the night I have to give back and return to my humble
wardrobe.
It is time we are all realistic with ourselves. Life is not
all sunshine and rainbows. There are days when life is rainy, muddy, and it
really stinks. We need to stop trying to convince those around us and ourselves
that everyday is great. It is okay to admit that your day is not going well,
your life does not have to be perfect. In allowing yourself to have that
freedom you will see that you will start to have more good days then bad
because you are not stressed about what everyone else thinks of you.
Have you read Anna Kendrick’s book? What did you think of
it? Do you feel like we need to stop comparing ourselves to famous individuals?
Do you think people need to start living a more carefree life style to be able
to enjoy experiences more?
