Being Famous.

I admit it. I do want to be famous. I really do... but as I told Holly last Friday, I want it to come on my own terms.

I really am not the type of person to actively want the spotlight (although I do tend to simply because I'm self-centered that way). Thinking about it now, I remind myself of Carmen in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.

I do want to get famous... but I honestly think that I want it in a different light. Not like the celebrity kind of way (I now have a mental image of Kim Kardashian). I think I would like it more if I'm famous for doing something I am truly passionate about without thinking about becoming famous. The best example I have here is Vivan Maier. She was a nanny and amateur photographer. She died not knowing what will happen to the rolls of film in her boxes. Then, destiny (if you believe in it, if not, then it's just luck) someone found her works during an auction last 2007 and poof, she is now what I consider one of the most inspirational forces in street photography.

I think... I do want to be famous, but more importantly, I want to be recognized for the things that I really wish to succeed. Right now, maybe it's my work (which is going pretty great compared to a few months ago). Maybe it's my hobby with photography. Or maybe, it's me simply eating.

I do want to be famous, but more importantly, I want to be recognized for being... simply me. :)

Maybe, just maybe, I do want to be recognized as,

Someone Anxious.
