taking you real deep
as usual,
i see a comment that makes me stop what i’m doing.
this time it was from tajan in:
everyone left great comments,
but this one was on point when it comes to the industry and everyone wanting to be stars…
this new generation are all “talented”, aren’t they?
everyone has some talent they want to present to the world.
it is almost becoming sickening.
i swear you can’t meet anyone who isn’t “something”.
i haven’t met the new shot lawyer or extremely talented police officer.
everyone who is black online is coming out with a record,

I def saw myself wanting to be addicted to FAME at one point.

But in this new day and age,
social media being the way of self expression,
and random people doing the most outrageous things to get seen:
The high that people receive when everyone knows their name is better than any form of weed or cocaine.
But, what happens when FAME starts to take over your mind?
What happens when you start being controlled by FAME?
What happens when you lose your FAME and have to turn social tricks to get it again?
