reaching the target. The world also deals with
their achievements and fame in its own way.
Unfortunately, many don’t live long enough

attracts everyone like a magnet. Mysterious,
extraordinary, and fascinatingly versatile, they
can make crowds forget their everyday worries
and transfer their consciousness into mysterious
worlds. Stars are creative and ambitious. Many
put their ambitions ahead of everything else.
Others don’t need to be seen or surrounded
by admirers because they are fully devoted to
creativity in their own world.
Despite their success, stars don’t have it easy.

copies adorn the walls of prestigious galleries.
Surprisingly, their former soulmates can play
a significant role in this. The joy of creativity
and a common dream is replaced by a
possessive desire to control and plunder the
stars’ work.
These stars deal with success and glory in their
own way. If they are ready and their roots are
strong and firm, they will resist the passing of
time. Paradoxically, however, many become
