Attention?

As far as I know myself,

(Starting at such a note because time and again, I end up finding something new about myself)

I have a threshold for attention

Everybody loves attention; who doesn't, Right?

I like it too, but only up to a certain level

Above which, attention starts to suffocate me to an extent that makes me realize the superficiality and shallowness of this world

Because you only get it when you are bright, glittery and appealing

Not when you are worn and torn and are toiling hard for making yourself who you want-to-be

I don't want,

Infact not at all want such an attention which is restricted to my morphological being

I like attention;

Attention from people who have always had an unflinching love for me

Attention from people who actually like/dislike me and are bold enough to tell me that

Attention from people who care about my very existence on this planet

I like it

I really do
