    This makes me think of someone who has fallen from the grace of recognition. Once chased after, then loss of fame or whatever, no longer being sought by the paparazzi.

    I can’t imagine what it’s like having all those camera’s and lights going off in your face, being blind, yikes.

    I enjoyed your offering. Thank you for stopping by my blog.

      hi!
      i won’t make it fully stop, it implies that something had to be done after the sentence, another thought to be said, but it just can’t.
