but we have to place that worry in the context of our complete ignorance of the artist’s short and long term goals. A lot of fandom chatter, imo, is concerned with external measures of success.
Now that you've said it , it's something I've been thinking about a lot in general lately. Not only with Zayn but all these other fandoms who project their wants and their desires onto the artists. I mean I don't really know what my favourite artists really want from their career or lives. And that their goals might change like everyone else's depending on at where they're in life at the moment.
Yeah, I’m finding Taylor really interesting rn for the same reason. She’s making some sort of pivot, maybe, and I’m really curious what’s going to come next for her. I think it’s hard for fandoms to see that what we want for a fav may have nothing to do with what they want for themselves. Whatever Zayn wants, I hope he can accomplish it, but I wish it would include live performances. We shall have to wait and see as uzh.
