    Watching Internet celebrities I feel so small and insignificant.

    From small people with just over 20,000 fans to Elon Musk who bought Twitter.

    We shouldn't compare ourselves to internet celebrities. Everyone knows we should judge our self worth by the number of Facebook friends we have.

    "Internet celebrities"?

    You mean people who think they're something, because people like their comments on FB?

    Famous people in general appear to have it all. Whether they be actors, singers, pro athletes, internet influencers or talking heads. They have the bucks, the ability to broadcast their opinions and people who listen.
    But two things about them
    1) They are a very small percentage of our world. To compare to them is to compare to those who have extreme talent, work ethic, focus, connections or luck, often all of those combined. To be honest I would love to have a little Podcast as I feel like I have a somewhat balanced POV that seldom gets heard and a tendency to look at what's behind the issue. But I don't know how and the odds are stacked and 17 other excuses. These people are unicorns not average people.
    2) They have problems too. That's what page 6 is all about.

    I will try. I guess, I can be a little more successful even with my limitations.
