Just seeking attention.
I hear it all the time. "Ignore her, she's just seeking attention" "man, what an attention seeker" "Why do you dress that way? It just gets attention!"
I am perhaps the last person who should be writing these words. I like to avoid attention, for the most part, unless it be that of close friends. On the other hand, in a part of me I try to deny sometimes, I thrive on it. I love being on stage, I love singing for people.
But it's just attention seeking.
Isn't it?
So what if it is? Why has wanting attention become just a bad thing?
Or is it just because I'm a woman? Sometimes I wonder if that is truly the case. Sit down, shut up, listen, know your place. Why not talk over me? I'm just seeking attenion anyway.
More and more, I can't see the problem with wanting attention. Mind you I have a problem with shoving your head up your ass to GET that attention, but in general, wanting to have your existance acknowledged? What is so wrong about that?
