I feel like nothing in life matters if i don't become famous

I just feel like life has no meaning if I don't end up being a celebrity... People who have reached fame through nepotism, like Kendall Jenner for example, who is only famous because her last name is Jenner, make me very depressed. It's not fair, is what I think; how they've been famous since they were children, and they didn't have to do anything. They didn't even have to try, and it was just handed to them. What's the point in living a mediocre life? If no one knows who I am, how could I have had any meaning? Millions of people die every day. When it's my time, I don't just want to be in that big group of people who are forgotten in a few months or years. If I could see into the future and find that I won't be famous, or at least rich, I would probably kill myself. Is there something wrong with me if my entire idea of life's purpose is to be famous? There probably is something very wrong. At least I can recognize that.

    A lot of people have that mindset. You’re born, you go to school, go to work, get married, have kids, then die. Life is full of stories, I think that fame would only make you gain attention. But sometimes gaining attention isn’t always the best thing to look forward to. You may think that you’re just another candle amongst billions that went out, but in truth you’re a special candle. With your own personality, memories, and relationships. This shouldn’t be taken for granted.

    Why would anybody want to be a celebrity? If you want to be remembered, make contributions to fields like science or art. You will still be forgotten eventually though.

    Be original and stop watching the news. Newsers are losers. tv characters die not having existed. Get attention from people who you meet and are cool to you

    Have fun, make friends, and enjoy what you have now. Never expect more than you have now, that way even if you dont have much you'll almost always have enough.
