Begin of blog song: Above The Water- Art of Sleeping
I feel like the way society, and the media has shaped the youth of today has been done in such a way to convince us that if we don't have that perfect high school relationship, or if we're not breaking a few rules, then... I don't want to say that they're telling us that our lives aren't worth living, because they're not. However, at the very least they're moulding us to believe that if our lives are not almost the mirror of our favourite tv protagonist then we are living very boring lives that do nothing but lackluster.
And because of that, when we finally do realize that life doesn't happen like that we don't always find the love of our lives in high school, or that life isn't always some great adventure, we are let down so completely and so utterly that it takes us some time to bounce back from it all. Yet, some of us never seem to get back to that stage where they live their lives freely without other people's idea of how far we should have advanced past a certain stage of our life, and spend the remainder of theirs in search for this "greatness" this "wonder", and before they know it, they've wasted all their time searching for something they thought would make them happy, which in fact just leaves us sort of hollow and empty when we finally realize we could have been doing something so much more with our time.
I guess, what I'm trying to say is that, yes I am a victim of the media's expectations, however instead of sitting around and hoping for something that chances are will not come in this point and time in my life, I am going to enjoy what youth I have left, and revile in my own happiness that I will create by myself with the help of my friends and family. I invite you all to do the same.
- Peace out girl scouts!
