30 Minutes Of Stardom: The cheap popularity mentality by Talius(m): 7:42pm On Aug 24, 2015
What people do for cheap popularity marvels the eyes. So many have lost their lives in the vain of been the name on everyone's waging tongue at a particular moment( remember the craze most girls had for BlackBerry Bold 5 some years back ). Didn't you see the phone she uses now, did you not notice the car key strapped to her middle finger all through the ceremony, if these are the kind of topics you like people discussing about you then you have a problem which I like to term the "30minutes of stardom" syndrome. The name says it all, you are desperate for attention and publicity and would do anything to ensure that you are the most discussed item on the news bulletin at any moment.

So many have lost precious, irreplaceable items to the quest of been popular only to be disappointed when it lasts for only 30minutes. Yes, for that 30mins you'll be at the apex of the world but after that time window you'll still be the same lonely, insecure, self absorbing person you were before the cheap fame and popularity.
The syndrome mostly is caused by the need to fill a void in ones life and yes it can be conquered by having a new goal you set out to achieve, that way you won't be absorbed in thinking how to use lousy means to keep your troubled soul at bay.

Please note that the use of 30minutes in this article is interpreted as a very short while and not the actual 30minutes as told by a time piece

The cheap popularity mentality is a serious disease, a cancer that must be defeated.
