I feel like so many people forget that under the mask, I’m the same as you. I’m a traumatized, scared, imperfect individual who’s doing his best to be something in this world.
People see me as some sort of perfect person when in reality I’m just as messed up as the next person. That’s why I don’t like being put on a pedestal—because I know that at some point, I’m going to mess up that idea of perfection you have of me in your head. I’m a deeply flawed human being who’s trying his best, just like you.
Yes I make content, yes I have thousands of people who love me, yes I may be somewhat popular, but at the end of the day, the world could end and I’ll bleed the same color as everyone else.
They say don’t meet your idols. I hope that if you idolize me and you meet me, it will be a pleasant experience, but I also hope that it will help you see that I’m just another human being enjoying a fandom the same way you are.
Flawed. I’m flawed.
Don’t let me get a big head over internet numbers that are just 1s and 0s.
Don’t let yourself lose sight of my humanity over internet numbers that are just 1s and 0s.
We’re all just people. We’re all trying to navigate through life for the first time. The world could use a little more understanding and patience.
Sorry for the rant, I’m probably just tired. I really do love what I get to do in this fandom.
