You've been on Youtube, right? Of course you have, unless you're a caveman, then I wouldn't suggest reading through the rest of this. So, you have THAT one person you've seen who's a popular gamer/artist/singer/generally-not-caveman-type-person that by now, you're currently subscribed to and dedicating a considerable amount of your Internet time to, right? Right, but here's the thing...

WHY?

Is it because they're funny, smart, attractive, good at what they do, inspirational, effectively kind, effectively BETTER than you in every way possible, etc? THAT'S probably it! To put it bluntly, you ENVY them, you can't help but look up to them in awe and idolize them because they have one or multiple things that YOU clearly lack and look for in others. Most of the time, it's popularity; the views, the respect, the compliments, or even the money, if that's what you're in to. For others, it might be that they're just generally a good human being.

I've been there. I've done that. And I'm telling you now some basic information; Popularity is not a present you ask your parents for your birthday. It's hard and it's trial-and-error.

If you want to get popular, so do I, we've all experienced those kinds of feelings at some point because that's ENVY. But, are you really go so far as to spam the people you "hold dearest in you heart" and look up to, with annoying, unoriginal channel/blog/generally-not-caveman-type-web-page advertising that will hurt you more than harm you more than hinder you more than help you? Answer seems pretty obvious.

So please, stop with the ruse, accept that your chances of becoming as popular as your idol(s) aren't the best, and that'll be your first step to seeing the world from a different perspective, hopefully a more positive one. Envy can be your friend or your enemy depending on how you address it.

Now, the question is:

Who do YOU envy?
