Question by coolgirlnas: Should I go after my dreams of doing what I love and becoming famous?
Except for my family, I have always felt like I was invisible. I hated high school because no one really noticed me and I didn’t have many friends at all… I was really lonely. But I am easy on the eyes and everything.. I mean I am pretty and stuff, and believe me, I am. I don’t know, I’m just a little unique, I look at things differently and I’m kind of poetic sometimes, and I analyze life the way people analyze poetry… to the point where nothing makes sense..I am a modern-day philosopher, I guess.

ANYWAY, lately I’ve been thinking that maybe the solution to my feeling so invisible is to become famous. I am an avid dancer and singer and I have no doubts I could be successful if I really want to. And to be honest, the money means nothing to me. Really. I don’t ask for gifts, ever, even on my birthday, tangible things are valueless to me. The only thing I want is for people to know who I am, care about what I have to say, do what I love (sing and dance) on a big stage, and, most notably, so I can show all the popular girls in high school that I was never invisible.

But then I look at how lonely Michael Jackson was, and I’m not saying I’m gonna be as big as he was, but like, he was miserable. And loneliness is something I don’t wanna go through anymore. I am usually lonely, I spend a lot of time thinking by myself and I guess the main driving power for me to become famous is so that I won’t have to be lonely, but it it happens then that is a HUGE backfire.

I’m in college right now as a freshman and I have made little to no friends partly because I am focused on becoming famous in the future so much. Sometimes I think about how just making friends in college will fill that void of being invisible, but then again, dancing on a big stage will always sound fun, regardless.

Thoughts?

Follow your dreams, no matter what.
The simplest solution would be that. ^0^

And by the way, saying you’re pretty isn’t very…well, you know.

Question by D.K.: Are there any famous gay people in history?
Besides modern day gay people, such as celebrities/actors, are there any famous gay scientists, philosophers, army generals, kings/queens, etc. throughout history? I’m just curious, because I rarely/never hear about them, if they existed.

I’m thinking that there were some, but they were probably likely to be killed/arrested if they were open about it, so they kept it quiet.
