It's not difficult to think about being famous when you dive into art. Fame comes from many things and I think I have been somewhat famous in the past.
Let me tell you the story.
It happens that back when I was in college, I kept doing so many things at the same time that the number of people who knew me by sight was outstanding. So, you'd always see me waving at a lot of people ranging from workers to teachers to students and authorities.
I guess it was only natural. I'm very sociable even when my general idea of peace means being alone doing miding my own business.
Fame wouldn't be a burden on myself. I'm an ambivert after all. I was born very extrovert and my mom forced me into being an introvert. That use to be some kind of issue in my mind, but it actually helps to understand some social cues very fast and knowing when you can perform in a way or the other.
This very weird concept that sometimes gets in my way when trying to do thing is the right example of how not to get fame on your head and stop being yourself. It's like that story of Cincinnati taking his time as Dictator and going back to his farm once the emergency is solved.
Besides, I'm great at making myself laugh at everything, so I wouldn't consider my famous status as something serious. And that would get me in trouble. Not the same kind of scandalous disasters famous people are know for, but the kind of gaining haters.
That's a kind of game I could get behind.
I used to have a hater in college. But for her own good or not, I didn't care about it. Just knowing the fact and keep being myself made this person rage silently. It was funny in lots of different levels.
Anyways, coming back to the point, I wouldn't like to be famous on a big scale. I guess I'm kind of famous around Hive's local and national scene. I even have some international friends like the one and only G-dog.
That's something to brag about!
But the idea of losing your privacy and being under the scrutiny of public opinion would be too much to handle even for someone as socially careless as myself. That would certainly be a burden too heavy to carry. And it would give me the want to go and set a farm away from people just to be at easy.
Now, I understand that guy Cincinnati and Washington too. If only Bolívar had taken the same step...
It wouldn't be all bad though. I image the merit of fame would give me clients to sell instruments. Maybe I haven't considered what would make me famous? Would I be a famous musician? A Hive personality? A Content Creator?
I think the only fame I want is as a luthier. This job is very quiet and went if you have world fame, it means very little since not everyone has the money to pay for an author's instrument.
Alas, one can only dream.
Meanwhile, I'll get serious on my music to see if it gives me a taste of fame or something similar.
Serious mode engaged!
Thanks a lot for reading my ramblings. What do you think about fame? Would you be able to handle it?
Let me know in the comments section. Have a great day!

I remember you waving at somebody all the time. I thought to myself, "this boy is into everything," and I think it was--it is--amazing.
May fame and a farm to run away from it come to you 😌💕
Big hug
Ha, ha, ha, ha. I seem to be like water running and permeating everything I can reach. That's the kind of comment I has heard a lot.
Hey, a farm would be lovely. My workshop on one side and pigs on the other.
Lovely, lovely vision.
Thanks for dropping by.
Hugs 🫂❤️✨
😁 Just treat the pigs well and play some music for them.
I will. I can also speak grunts, so I'll get along with them 🤣

The truth is that I don't like the idea of losing my privacy hahaha if there would be a fame but I don't appear great.
Famous with my designs, paintings could be but as long as it doesn't affect my intimacy and privacy, something very complicated.
Very good reflections Andrés!❤️
It's a dilema. We would love fame for our brands, but only about our work. Let that be famous and we reaming private people.
It's true, how to say behind closed doors it's my life and they don't know it... difficult.
Well, it's a thing to understand.
That's right!
Más importante que ser famoso es ser talentoso y lo eres vale. Buen post, muchos éxitos.
Muchas gracias. Sin duda eso es más importante. Tener el respaldo para la fama.
Nice! I like that you started with a j.Cole quote. Can you please share what song it was from? Thank you
To answer the question about fame I think I would handle it well because I like people but know when I need to withdraw and go into my space and recharge.
I don't actually know if it's a quote from a song. I just liked the phrase.
I see. We all have mechanism to cope with this things. Glad to know you could handle fame.
