Just read.
I saw someone vent about not having enough followers and clout. Those things aren't important. In fact if you ask for F4F at all, no. It's okay to celebrate when you have 150 followers or something but don't complain when you don't have any. These things take time anyways, so if you want to have fame, work hard on your projects, and put effort. You may not get what you want from that but eventually someone will actually notice you. But don't complain if you don't get anything from the effort you put into making that project, because LIFE ISN'T FAIR.
