Fame Won’t Love You — The Hardest Truth No One Tells You

 "Fame won’t love you."

The first time I heard this line from Sia"s song, it hit like a truth most people spend a lifetime avoiding.

Because no matter how many people scream your name or call you an inspiration — the applause isn’t affection.
It’s noise. Temporary. Fickle. Loud when you win. Silent when you fall.

Fame is not love.
It’s a crowd that claps for your highlight reel and disappears during your lowest scenes.
You could do everything right. Bleed for your work. Live with integrity. And still — one moment, one perception, one viral outrage — and suddenly, you’re the villain.

And sometimes?
You don’t even need to make a mistake.
Your existence itself can make people feel victimised.
Your success. Your peace. Your audacity to live without begging for approval — it’s enough to trigger the insecurities of those waiting to hate you.

Fame will never protect you.
It doesn’t stand up for you.
It doesn’t remember the thousands of things you got right — only the one thing it can twist into a headline.

We expect perfection from those we place on pedestals, forgetting they never asked to be gods.
Fame turns people into symbols. And then punishes them for being human.

So no — fame won’t love you.
It will cheer while it’s convenient.
And vanish when it's hard.

What will love you is truth.
What will hold you up is authenticity.
What will save you is knowing that your worth is not built on their worship — and never destroyed by their noise.

To those constantly judged just for being —
You don’t owe the world anything but your peace.
And to the crowd:
Stop turning people into gods if you plan to crucify them for not living up to your fantasy.
