I stumbled across this earlier in the day and it kind of got me thinking. I feel like I knew most of these things from the time I turned sixteen, but I've also lived as an exception to the rule. My life's never exactly been easy, and I learned very early on in life that there are few people you can count on. There are few things better than curling up on the sofa and watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians, or The World According to Paris or Guliana and Bill, when you've had a miserable day in school. Sometimes, the material goods really are what you need when you're down.
The past couple of years especially have been really hard on me, and I cannot describe the joy I got from watching tgwtg videos on my shitty old pc and now my sleek new mac. It, it always amazes me how much people bitch and moan about how sucky it is that their parents are dragging them along on an international trip, or how much they hate shopping, when it's so fucking insignificant. I know this post isn't film etc. but truthfully, it's been hard to watch suffering onscreen when I think about how much I've gone through.
There are days where I want the world to shut up about Rob Ford, or how "awesome" Justin Trudeau is, because I don't care. I've had and have bigger priorities than anyone my age could ever imagine.
