TV, well cable channels MTV, VH1, E!, even TLC and Food Network, makes it very delusional. It seems like you MUST have a degree or Money in order to have a happy life or be happy. I turn to MTV, super sweet sixteen is on and a girl having her quinceanera, is pissed at her mom cause her mom got her a black 2007 lexus, but didn't give it to her on the night of her party, so she is crying, screaming, and says "you ruined my life!"....i turn to E! channel or Vh1 they have forbes list of youngest stars under 25 making over 10million dollars a year selling perfumes, albums, clothes, books...whatever...
it just feels like im behind. everybody has a passion or already knows what they want to do. look at britney spears, she had a passion, to just dance and sing. that passion now turned against her, and she is probably very lonely and scared cause she doesn't know who to trust. And she has so much cash, and she is rolling around in her mercedes in the streets of LA everyday. its just sad, what is one to do? i dunno why i mentioned this but i feel like it affects and delutes our souls and minds into thinking this is what makes these people on television happy, the glitz, the glam, the clothes, the sunglasses, the heels, the money, the fame. but are these people even happy? was this their passion? to be on a reality show having their lives and selves broadcast in 30minute episodes.
what happened to just good ole TGI fridays with full house and family matters and step by step. what happened to studio audience shows, where a child wouldn't even be aware they are talking about something very adult or sexual. It's just sad? At least back in the day you could watch a show and they are your heroes and you want to be like these people or aspire to have something or whatever. But what do we look up to now? Where do we find this passion? Do you think other kids in my generation (Y generation, ages 16 to 25) are well off and are good with their passions, or are they just getting degrees or becoming an insurance or real estate agent, and they make this money? or they have nothing like me at my age and are lost?
sorry i wrote so much, i was really venting what was on my mind.
i didn't proofread my entries either, so i apologize for that also if it sounds off.
