Good evening my beautiful writers, how did your day go? Well, mine didn't go as planned, but I still have to thank God that some things went well for me. Straight to the topic of today, before I start, if you haven't read "lost in the world" episodes and you want to read it, you can click the upper link, I dropped a new episode yesterday.
Yesterday as I was going through articles in my notification, I was touched by an article sir @Fexodine1 wrote about a young female (14years old) TikTok celebrity that committed suicide in January, it was so touching that I have to drop a comment on it, which almost turn into an article under his article, not my fault though, I just get carried away. Which I will be emphasizing on it
Do you have friends?
In sir @Fexodine1 article, he wrote that the girl has over 14million followers on TikTok, which is huge, but the question is, does she has friends? I know this question might sound confusing to you that how can I say someone has 14 million followers and she doesn't have friends, it is very possible to have fans and not friends.
Check out my wonderful sponsors
Fans are people who hype you (most people confuse hype for love) fans love you from your craft or perhaps fame, they love what you do and not the real you, though few fans can become a friend to the celebrity (that is if the celebrity is someone that easily open up to few)
Friends are people who love you for you, they understand when you are sad, they know how to make you happy, they defend you in public and talk to you in Private if you did something wrong, friends are always there to tell you the truth, even if you don't want to hear it from them, friends don't love you for your craft but they're ready to support your craft and vision, cause your happiness is also their happiness.
Note: you don't need to be a world-class celebrity before you have fans, there are some people that we call friends, but they behave like fans, they don't care about the real you, they just care about what they will benefit from you always. A popular musician in my country ones sang a song years back and people are still playing the music to date, though I don't know if the musician is still alive or he has kicked the bucket, the song goes like this, When money dey, friends go dey, when money nor dey, friends go (When there's Money, you will have a lot of friends, but when you go broke, all the friends you thought you had will disappear) that's how fans usually are, one moment that you are at the top, you will see people doing a rally for you, wearing a polo shirt that has your name written on it or your picture printed on it, showing fake love, but ones you are no longer at the top, you will see the same people talking bad about your downfall and even saying you caused it yourself.
Most celebrities we see on red carpets or media, are always smiling when the camera is on them and we will be thinking that they are having the best life right now, which might give us anxiety because we will be feeling like we aren't trying enough, the truth its that most of these celebrities are feeling lonely from deep inside, they have this void (an empty placed for true friendships) that hasn't been filled yet, everyone they come across always want to know the celebrity and not the person, they feel like the person it's the celebrity but the person it's never the celebrity.
A celebrity is like two persons sharing one body, the celebrity is always in need of new fans and heaters too, but the person needs a true friend that will love her for herself, she just wants to be normal around her friends without anyone bringing out the phone to snap a picture or take an autograph of her.
Just like Justin Bieber track titled Lonely, I put the track on repeat, because he said it all, I will write a bit of the lyrics here and drop the track YouTube link, in case you want to check it out
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just lonelyI'm so lonely
Lonely
Once you have everything, 99 percent of people around you are just there like fans looking for benefits, they don't care about your personal life or mental health, all they know is that you need to capture the spotlight of the show, so you will have more fans and there will be more money.
I think I will end it here, the article won't be getting boring. Thanks for reading, I still remain your humble writer and reader.

You nailed it bro. This is the trend of life celebrity's life. Especially with the influence of social Media. Just lik you said, once a celebrity life style drop, you'd see that even those people hailing him would be the once dragging the matter on Twitter.
