The fun part is that not all of us, but the majority of people, want to be famous so badly, and this usually looks so sweet when the fame comes to us unknowingly. And what people do not get is that all these famous people usually pay a price because some of them want to do what normal people are doing, but fame will not allow them.
Where I come from, there is a popular word for that: "I want to blow" either through content making, music, or anything. But I will always say fame might make you very popular, and people shout your name, but if care is not taken, it can also destroy.
And looking at this prompt topic, if all of a sudden my name is being echoed by people all over the world today, well, I will not act as if it will not affect my world. Because my profession is as an architect, getting famous means I will have to stop strolling around the street to get my favorite roadside corn and suya. As I have said earlier, fame will still keep me from doing some things. Because mixing with ordinary people is going to turn into a big show where people will be like, "Architect Dave, can I take a picture with you". Just imagine waking up as a famous person and deciding to enter the market to buy something. Imagine everyone's reaction, and before you know it, you are trending on blogs.
And looking at my family, if I get famous, it will definitely be a thing of joy and maybe a little pressure here and there. Because I come from a reputable home where my dad and mom hold key posts in the church, it will definitely be something of joy for them, and they will definitely pray more because people might definitely start showing fake love, and at the same time, some people might also feel entitled with a lot of expectations about them and about my life.
Of course, I will definitely embrace the fame, but I will be so much more careful that it doesn't get into my head and make me forget who I am and my source because I have seen instances where some people got famous and, instead of facing what they are up to, they started seeking public approval and validation that eventually brought them down.
It is no doubt that in my country, you can get famous overnight, and the next day, you are nowhere to be found. I have seen this happen, especially to some musicians. And as for me, like I have said before, I will always remember the child of who I am and always focus on my grind, surrounding myself with genuine friends who will always look out for me and correct me when I am doing wrong because after all is said and done, I can not be famous for life, and what will be left of me is the impact I made and my peace of mind. And I can say that is the real spotlight that found me.
Thank you for reading.
