Sometimes all it takes is a little glimpse into the lives of professional athletes to remind us that they are not, in fact, that different from you and me. With the advent of social media, those little glimpses have turned into recorded moments that we can watch over, and over, and over again.
So, if you ever find yourself longing for a life of fame and luxury - wishing you could date the women that Neymar Jr. dates, or drive a car that Neymar Jr. drives, or even just be a part of Neymar Jr.’s entourage - and find yourself unable to reconcile yourself with the fact that you will almost definitely never date one, have one, or be a part of the inner circle, take a deep breath and watch these videos.
Behold, the modern-day celebrity in his natural habitat. If you are observant, you will notice that he is just like everyone else. He sings along to his favorite songs in the car. Poorly, we might add. Sometimes he is with friends or, if the feeling is right, he is just by himself, without a care in the world. He doesn’t even know all the words to the songs he tries to sing.
Granted, he is probably wearing an outfit that costs more that you make in 2 months, but such trivial facts should be ignored in these beautiful moments of levity.
Now we that have established a new and glorious connection with a famous person you will never meet, let us heed the words of YouTuber Bryan Hudgens: “I should be getting a job instead of watching a video of Neymar singing in his car.”
That, ladies and gentlemen, is perspective.
