Do you wish you were famous?

Do SA sufferers, deep down, wish they were famous?

This probably links to SA sufferers wanting to be accepted, liked and appreciated but for me as a kid, I've always wanted to BE somebody.

At a young age, I had dreams of being a footballer (soccer player) but realised, sadly that I was rubbish; of being an actor as I excelled in Drama lessons at school and I loved playing a character who was not me; and my current goal is to be a journalist. Not that I want to be famous as a journalist for self-interest reasons but for people to talk about my work and encouraging debate.

So, has anyone else wanted to be famous and if so what?

yeah, a long time ago i wanted to be famous for my art, i wanted people to think i was cool. but as i've gotten older, it's changed to i want to be recognized for my works, because they're quality, thought provoking, thought-out, messages get conveyed, yada yada. i used to feel bad, but i think, hey this stuff came from me, i did this, i am cool, who cares. but at the same time, i'd do art anonymously if i could get my images out there. its a weird balance. someone tried to make me feel ashamed about being an artist and showing my work. blaah.

maybe im still confused on the subject, but who cares. yes, i'd like to be famous for my artwork and make some kind of money from it. is that bad
