Stop Giving A Shit..

Sorry for the title but I'm very passionate about this subject. Stop giving a shit about the amount of followers you have. Stop giving a shit that your post only got ten likes. Stop giving a shit that the "Catch Me Outside" girl has one million followers, a reality T.V show, and most likely a Netflix deal. Stop giving a shit that you haven't gone viral yet. Stop giving a shit that the Rock wont respond to your DM's about collaborating because he see's that only your mom and your aunt Gilda follow you on Instagram.
Do you want to know why?
None of it freaking matters. Seriously none of it matters. Ask yourself why do you post what you post? For example I post my own quotes everyday, or videos because I want to change what people see on social media. I want to be one of the hopefully tens of thousands of people that are posting positive content to help bring the world together not tear it apart. Now if your goal is to only go viral and to be a You Tube star this tiny article isn't for you.
I'm talking to the folks that post amazing, insightful things everyday. The new currency is followers and likes and all the other bullshit, and I know that you feel broke. I know you feel like saying why do I even post things that no one will see. I'm asking you not to stop, if this is something you love to do don't worry about how many people are watching. Trust me someone, somewhere needs your post. You are a freaking billionaire because of your content, not because you went viral farting on your granddad when he was sleep.
We will change the narrative my friends, content will always be the king of the jungle!!!

5 年POWERFUL Cornell. thank you for speaking up and taking the lead on this. Reading your article made me think of Mark Mansen's Tim, from the "Subtle Art of Not Giving a F-ck". Just like your "stop giving a shit". We need to make sure the younger generation read this, in particular.
