I feel my heart sink every time I’m recognised in public. I have a famous streak to my name, but not for any good reason. I got infamous for my deranged video I recorded of myself. I posted it to the internet for attention, and boy did I get that sweet attention I desired. I’m referred to as the ‘balloon guy’ when people see me in the street. I am ashamed that this is what I’ve become. It haunts me in job interviews, everywhere I go. Hopefully this internet fame will disappear in fifteen minutes, however, I’m reminded by my remaining friends that the internet is forever.
