It's really his decision to either assign somebody status to me or not isn't it? So if Don Trump or Bill Gates considers me a nobody.... that means I am? If I consider them nobodies, does that mean they are? Take away their billions and how are they any MORE of a somebody than anyone else? Transfer their billions to my account and that suddenly makes me somebody?
It makes me no different than I was yesterday. Except with alot more money. You can't buy respect. Do I respect those guys? Hell no. Fuck them. They don't impact me. I've never met either one. And I couldn't care less if they go broke or die tomorrow. So.... are they still somebody?
There is no status except that which we allow. Whether it's in the eyes of others or for yourself. For every person that may end up thinking you as a somebody in the future, there are alot more people who simply don't care.
Status is an illusion bro. Chasing it your whole life is an incredible waste of time.

the ONLY illusion that maters to me though is the one in my own mind. That's the only one I care about. What you or anyone else thinks of me I don't give a fuck about.
