PERSPECTIVE: RICH PEOPLE AREN'T ALWAYS HAPPY.

 Hey Everyone


I am doing a new serious called "Perspective".  It is where after doing countless research by listening to different interviews and news clips, I give my "Perspective" about what I think it would like to be in this person's shoes.


DISCLAIMER: In no shape or form am I saying this is an accurate depiction of what it is like to be these individuals or even speaking for these groups. It is my way of trying to understand these people to minimize hate and just bring more peace.


RICH PEOPLE AREN'T ALWAYS HAPPY





Being "successful" isn't always the happiest. It is actually the loneliest street to be on.


If you come from a "humble" (the mere idea that we refer to it as humble, alone says a lot) beginnings especially where just having a job, any job makes you "rich" in their eyes. Nothing is wrong with being a primary school teacher. It is a great job, you are providing a service to the community but in your community that is the highest-ranking job, you can ever be. 

That is how the black community in America is like.


So when you get fame, like become a rapper or an athlete, it isn't a road paved with joy and happiness. It is your "friends" mad at you because you are no longer out on the basketball field every day because you are home writing rhymes. "Oh, you are siddidy" "boy you have changed".  As you get 


successful, you kind of gain "friends" you never would have had while you were in poverty. That could be a good thing and it could be a bad thing. Most cases in Hollywood with these black boys, I am calling them boys because mentally they have not made the transition into an adult to process their emotions like a healthy adult.

So instead of getting therapy, their therapy is in the arms of a hot chick there, drugs, alcohol. 

Your self worth gets attached to that, giving you a false sense of security, that yeah I have made it. 

All the while you are dealing with "friends" and family members that hate that you have become successful. You can't really interact with them like you used to before because they always want money and if you reject them, they accuse you of changing.


You have new friends but you question if anyone of them would be friends with you if you were broke and sadly most of them would not. 


Fans now are with you as long as you pump out hit and after hit, everybody is a critic. So now you are no longer writing songs for yourself but rather like I gotta please the masses. But if you continue writing this way, "why haven't you grown-up" if you change it up "naw you have changed" 

And it is hard to see the real picture when you are in that zone of despair. These critics often have no plans of purchasing your content anyway or maybe they will anyway and they are just talking 💩  and then you start missing those days when you were doing it solely for you.


Then your album comes out or if you are an athlete the game comes and you know 


because you are the best of the best they say, there are people watching to see you choke, to say that you "fell off" as if you aren't human and obviously you will not get shot after shot in the basket as 18 year old you. They aren't looking at 42 years old and you are still in the game. Maybe you are and that is the problem too. With music, it is totally subjective. 

I am sure there isnt a singer in the world that hasn't out a song or an album that they thought would be a banger and people completely roasted it or it got no traction versus a song, you created on a burnt-out Friday night when you are tired asf and you need just one last song to complete it. You could hire the best team in the business who made you hit after hit, have banger songs, fire hooks and it still doesn't connect with the audience. 


While this is all happening people are 


criticizing it because it is not your "No Vaseline" "Ether"

You are still rich, still famous but you are miserable. Your love life has not improved even though you are wealthy. You can't trust any of the women even if they have the best intentions so you get a girlfriend and you constantly cheat on her because you hate yourself and don't think you deserve to be loved and you keep her around because she is a safety net.


You get angry when she leaves you because she is supposed to be there. How dare she abandon me. Not even considering the abuse you gave her. You are so messed up you don't even know how to love someone without trying to manipulate them into staying, all the while staying in this never-ending cycle of fighting and cheating until hopefully, she leaves you for good or she stays and you drag 


her down with you and your children with her and the multiple you fathered with others down to. 


You repeat this whole cycle until maybe the fame fades. That kind of fame is not sustainable. Even the most popular celebrities are not in the news 24/7 like they use to. Unless you manufacture ways to constantly be in the news even so far as to pay off TMZ to "catch" shopping and pretending as if you didn't already know and you are annoyed.


So then you die and millions mourn your death but how many people around you truly loved you or knew you.


Seen by millions but still seen by none.
