chapter 2:
Pictures.
--
I sat in a local café;
if you guessed Starbucks, nice job; you guessed right.
I edited a video to go up
"I egged someones house?! Q&A"
putting that as the title is probably a kind of clickbait;
mostly because i never actually did egg somones house, it was just a question asked by a fan in the question & answer i was doing.
-
i sat there for minutes, just editing; it was quiet & I enjoyed the quiet so i came here often.
It is quiet in my apartment but i liked it her better, i loved the smell of coffee.

"you look familiar"
i look up to see some girl around 15 years of age standing next to the table

I was going to tell her i was on YouTube, but it was too late since she was already saying something.

"Oh i know you! Isn't your name jacob??" She asks

"No its jaden actually, new viewer?" I ask; she probably watched me once to be honest

She nodded

"Want a picture?" I ask

She nodded once again and pulled out her phone, and snapped a quick selfie.

"Thank you" she smiled

"No problem" i say as she walks away

I sat back and just thought about that little situation.

she was going to tweet & instagram that photo. she was going to brag to her friends on how she met "jacob". She was using that photo as proof that she met me.

Don't get me wrong i love snapping photos with fans and communicating with them; but i am tired of just taking pictures and not talking at all after that, only a simple thank you. nothing else. I want to meet them, to know them, but it seems impossible because they only want a picture. This girl didn't even know my name.

"One thing
I learned when I was 20
was that no matter where you are
home is where the people you love are."
