FOLLOW ME FOLLOW YOU
If I have to see or hear one more thing about how many
followers people have or have not on Twitter I am going to explode.
It is great to have people that admire you. You don’t have
to be Beyoncé to be admired. I admire the little girl that lives next door to
me. She is smart, sweet and very creative. In my opinion if getting followers
on twitter is based on that she should have millions.
I love Twitter and Facebook I get to talk to fans and
friends. We all get to express ourselves without judgment. At least I try to
have it like that on my accounts. I enjoy the interaction with the followers more than the
numbers. Quality not quantity.
A few months back I got over 100k followers in a
matter of weeks. I have no idea why. I did not buy them. If I am going to spend
my money it’s going to be on a pedicure or buying a Slurpee for the little girl
next door.
Now I notice my followers are dropping down? I don’t get all
this computer hacking or whatever it is, or isn't I don’t care. When you are
in your darkest hour, famous or not, who is there for you? If you have a
million followers on Twitter and you are alone you got nothing. If you have no
followers on twitter and you have a loving, caring person to hold, you got
everything.
I have been in my darkest hour and I was alone. I changed my
life and now I know I will always have someone if I ever have a dark hour
again. You want to see what’s important in life? Hit bottom and then rise back
up to the top. The only thing I lost was my ego. I found out I never needed
that to begin with.
If you’re in need of a huge amount of followers to validate
you. When it happens, I hope you make it through your darkest hour.
Reba, I agree with you, but I think what you need to consider is the fact that everyone has there motivation. In your long career, you have seen women come and women go. Some do it for the money, some for the fame and some for the attentions and of course some for the combination of all three. Many people have their self esteem rooted in the wrong place, as long as you know who you are and what you are worth, just let the less confident falsely invest in an online ego boost.

ReplyDeleteReading this, I am in total agreement. It's just that most consider having many followers as something of a validation of being popular but thing I ask is out of all those thousands or millions, do you consider them just numbers on a stat sheet, or individuals that actually have some sincere interest in you. If this is a popularity contest, what is the prize? And is it even worth it? Quality is always important. I rather have 10 people who actually care and true to you and stand by you than a million who never will stand with me.
