I'll go to sleep after this I swear! I just saw this come down my timeline and I have something to say. I've said in the past that something as superficial as a follower number or "popularity" will not make you happy. Friends and meaningful relationships do. I've had my follower https://twitter.com/ErixaluArt/status/1318761770203435011
number thrown in my face whenever I say that with people saying "Well that's easy for you to say". While I absolutely adore every single one of my amazing followers and supporters, I need to say this just because the topic seems to be floating around lately. Imagine you're in the
center of an arena filled up with people and you're in the center with a spotlight on you. People are always watching you, judging you and seeing you. While it may be filled with supporters there are people in the crowd who simply hate you and are looking for ways to see you
crash and burn for no particular reason even if you've never done anything wrong. Now, imagine you have a depressive meltdown. It's automatically broadcasted to everyone. People are expecting a show. You are a brand now. They expect you to perform all the time. You may get cheers
from the audience sometimes but they're never really there with you in the center of the arena. You're there alone. As odd as it may seem there's no worse feeling than to seemingly have so many people who are watching you, but feeling like the loneliest person on earth. Some
don't want to see you as a person. They want to see an act. A character to preform. When the show is over they all go home with their small group of friends but you stay there in the middle. Alone. I've never been after "popularity" the whole point of me being here is to try to
make others smile and make friends. Friends who don't just like the character, but the whole person underneath it. A person who sees every comment directed at them, both good or bad. A person with feelings and emotions. The close friends I have in this fandom are people who see
me as a person first. A very flawed person, but someone who wants to feel genuinely loved just like every other person out there. I've always made it clear that I will have my human moments sometimes. I'm not a brand. I'm a living breathing person under this silly animal. I don't
care how much of a following you have or how "famous" you are. I care about you as a person no matter who you are. It gets pretty sad and lonely sometimes... Now I'm absolutely NOT excusing the horrible behavior some people with a following have done at all. There are some shitty
people out there who have a following. But what I am saying is to not simply look at a number and determine your judgment of them based solely on that. Like everyone else, I'm just here to make genuine friends and meaningful memories with people in a fandom I absolutely adore.
I could care less about popularity. I simply care about making you fuzzbutts smile as best I can while portraying myself as a silly kangaroo regardless of what following I do or do not have. I love the amazing people who make up this fandom from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
Woah, so sorry for the incredibly long chain of tweets haha. I didn't realize how much I wrote! I just wanted to get that off my chest. Thank you for everything fuzzbutts. You all keep this kangaroo hopping.... And yes... I'm finally going to bed now, I promise haha.
