    Well I know my fame is just here but it gets really annoying... after so long its just people expecting things from you. People treat me like im always suppose to be entertaining them.. like sometimes I just wanna come on here and s---t the s---. But everyone knows your name and you gotta live up to that. I imagine thats what regular celebs go through..

    It would depend what I was famous for cuz being famous just to be famous would be pointless to me. But for example if I was famous for being a successful writer, that would be cool, because it would open up a lot of doors/connections. A lot of writers are only famous within their industry or their name is known but not their face, and I think any more fame than that would be terrible. Might be cool for the first few months but it would be so draining to have to put on a disguise to go to the store to pick up a loaf of bread or just go on a walk.

    Yes or no. It obviously has both (possible) pro's and cons, depending on what u value most.

    Personally for me, no. I don't like being the center of attention / having media en other people following me around. Even if I could swim in money and have all the luxury.

    How about you @LifeSXN and why ?

    I go back and forth on this tbh. I think I would love to be famous one day for adaptive sports, as then that could provide the platform for me to bring more eyes towards the sports itself and be a part of that fundamental shift in perspectives regarding disability and what's possible.

    And then I think that should would be taxing too, so I dunno :wow2:

    Not really. Fame has a lot of disadvantages that people don’t think about on the surface level. I’d rather take a moderate amount of wealth over crazy fame.

    I was listening to 2Pac earlier today and he said it best: "Forgive me I'm a rider, still I'm just a simple man. All I want is money, f--- the fame I'm a simple man"

    I think being like semi famous would be chill. Not a super star but famous enough to be able to live well off but also not always be recognized in public. Not being able to do basic things like go to the grocery store without being recognized seems so dreadful imo.
