Random Thoughts On Fame // JustOneThing.

I've always wondered what it feels like to be famous. How it feels to have a lot of people, thousands or millions even love you and I just wonder how it's done.
In our world today, there are a lot of people with Fame, some worked hard to attain the fame they have while some were simply born into it.
As I said, many people have to work hard to gain the popularity they desire therefore we see a lot of individuals do odd things just to get famous.
Technology has made it very easy to get famous. These days, everyone is on the internet and so the target audience is wider and broader than it was back in the day. Therefore individuals have opportunity to do a whole lot of crazy things just to acquire fame.
While some people who are famous like the fame they're getting others don't and we see this clearly in the way they react to certain rumors spread on the internet about them. Some know how to handle scenarios like that expertly while some don't.
We're all familiar with the app called INSTAGRAM
I was scrolling through the app one day when I came across a video of a very young lady in tears, she was apologizing to her fans about a "leaked" video of her and she was telling them that she didn't know someone had that on video and that she wasn't what they thought she was and all that.
Many sympathized with her and swore to be loyal fans forever while others blamed her and made fun of her and all that horrible things that individuals do because the internet gives them the freedom to be mean to one another.
That can be said to be a disadvantage of being famous right?
I imagined myself in a situation like that and I can't really say how exactly I'd react if I were in her shoes.
It just shows how people can go from loving you as their idol to hating you for a simple mistake.
On the other hand, being famous feels really great. The love you get from people you don't even know can sometimes be overwhelming because they just love you or they love what you do.
I have watched shows starring famous artistes or actors or entrepreneurs and have seen them break down in tears because of how famous they are and the respect they get.
It can really be overwhelming.
Would I like to be famous one day?
Maybe.
I'm a really shy person and all that attention would drive back to my little hole where I like to hide. :)
Can I handle fame?
I think I can. But I wouldn't really know for sure until I get famous.
Handling fame isn't an easy task from what I've seen. Especially handling the hate mails and comments from "haters" who are not your fans.
A lot of famous people have committed suicide just because they couldn't handle all the hatred and bad energy they were getting and I'm sure we're familiar with some of them.
It's so sad.
I could go on and on because these are random thoughts and my thoughts are so many. :)
Thank you very much for reading and let me know what you think about being famous and if you think you're capable of handling fame or not.
