No one knows the exact kind of attention you want.
So if you want it, you’re going to need to ask for it…and give others a lot of grace and patience in their response.

We idealize fame because we see it as a level where people will finally treat us how we’ve always wanted to be treated…when really fame just means you get a lot of attention…but go back and read the first line of this post…no one knows the kind of attention you’ve always dreamed of. So you’ll get quantity but not your brand of quality.

We do our best to give the people closest to us the type of attention they want. It’s not exact but it’s probably in the ballpark most of the time. The attention we give, out of love and care, is needed and is always a good thing even if it can’t be everything.
