I'm nobody! Who Are You?Are you -- Nobody --Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise -- you know!
How dreary -- to be -- Somebody!
How public -- like a Frog --
To tell one's name -- the livelong June --
To an admiring Bog!
-Emily Dickinson
Here are just a few of the perks of being a nobody:
First of all, you can wear whatever you want without worries that your photo will show up in magazines or on the worst dressed list! The paparazzi leaves you alone!
Next, you can say whatever you want and not stress about being misquoted or taken out of context!
No one wants your autograph which is especially nice if you have lousy penmanship!
Finally, no one sends you fan mail so you don't have the burden to reply back (with the lousy penmanship) or the guilt if you don't respond!
Emily Dickinson was wise beyond her years! Being somebody would be public & dreary & a really big pain!
