Average vs Fame (lemmy.world)

What life would you prefer leading, an average but quiet and peaceful life? Or a famous life where you have glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.

I'm not sure about you but I'd prefer an average life of content and comfort knowing that while money is good, it's not everything.

Let me know your thoughts!

Famous enough that there's a steady fan base listening to my music (a thousand people internationally sounds great to me) but nothing more than that. I want that genuine fandom, where people actually enjoy being in a niche and no one stalks you and generally people don't know you wherever you go.

Not even for the money, but just to feel appreciated and to know I have a positive impact on people, that's all I want.

If it's only the two extremes? Yeah I'm totally cool with a quiet life.
