The people I grew up around made me feel that way. Everyone I knew was a successful person in a very competitive business (the film business or the art world). Everyone I knew was slim, never one pound overweight over the many years I knew them. Everyone I knew had incredible social connections, friends they had known for years who were also successful, powerful people.

That was before I found out the truth about them. Whenever you see people like that, it's a good idea to remember the poem, "Richard Cory." Often, people have a secret side with tragedies and problems we cannot even imagine.

One of these days, I will post about those family friends I knew and was so intimidated by over the years. Who they really were inside was sad indeed.
