Have you suffered from wanting fame but not having it ?

As an artist, I am suffering from it. It's as if I'm carrying a message that I'm not managing to deliver.
As if the deliverance isn't done properly and as if the impact isn't there

Not fame as in a public figure/star of some kind, but maybe more for who I am and not what I do or have done.

@Ontheroad maybe that's something I'm lacking, true and sincere appreciation

@SW-User After posting my response I thought a bit more about what I wrote... it's more me appreciating who I am. Seeing both the good and bad in myself.

Striving always to be a better version of myself. To, when I look at myself in the mirror (figuratively), to feel good/accomplished in and about who I've become.

Sure, it feels good when others (or even one other), recognize and appreciate me, but it's not something I strive for or want.

I am happiest, and feel most fulfilled when I can say (to myself), "You done good".
