I'm noticing changes even as an adult. I was never too obsessed with them, but definitely pedestaled them. I never wanted to be like anyone specifically, but I definitely assumed too much of people's talents or creative abilities when now I think it is mostly luck and/or hard work to get great at things...basically anything.

Anyway, what inspired this topic was I was looking at a celebrity and said, "fuck that bitch" with a sort of feeling or empathic quality to it that I would normally feel when saying it about a co-worker. So I definitely don't pedestal celebrities anymore. I think the more literal understanding of this came like a decade ago (I'm 33 currently), but now I feel like capable and/or more capable than some celebrities at doing their own jobs.

I think I'm funnier than some comedians. I think I'm musically talented than many popular musicians, etc.

I had the opposite reaction. I didn't really understand how good pro athletes and artists were until I was an adult.
