SCREENS

Before I begin, I guess I would like to say that I am sorry.

I haven’t been the most consistent person, and for those of you that actually come back and check this blog (if anyone actually does), there hasn’t been any new content. To be fair, though, it isn’t my fault. Don’t blame me, blame my school. I can’t even search for my name on the internet there, talkless of editing this blog.

Before I forget what I ought to be writing about, let’s get straight to the topic: screens. Just a bit of extra information: today’s topic was supposed to be on horror movies, but somehow I lost my muse mid-type. Screens. I don't know what you are thinking about when I said screens (or you read screens), but I am referring to life through the screens. So lemme rephrase the topic. It is now: LIFE THROUGH THE SCREENS.

Have you ever watched a show, or an interview, or a vlog, or whatever societally acceptable video you watch, and just thought-‘How I wish that was me/my life/mine...’? What an utterly stupid question. Of course you have; everyone has. When you look at the media we consume these days, you have probably noticed one common characteristic they all have. They are so agreeable to your brain. In other words, they are so captivating, so alluring, so [insert any positive adjective]. Let’s face it, real life is never going to be like some good Wattpad book, or some amazing Netflix show, or some... I am empty. No one is getting superpowers, so stop clicking on ‘People with real life super powers in real life’ videos on Youtube; No one is in a cheesy romance novel, so ‘How to get a guy into you’ is never the way; no one’s hair flies when they enter the room, where does the wind even come from; no one loses a 100 pounds in 30 days; THIS IS REAL LIFE THE MEDIA IS JUST TROLLING US.

The truth is, everyone who puts up this stuff has a reason for doing so. No one wastes hours of their lives for free. I bet that it is always for some personal reason. Some people do it for money, for college, for fun, or whatever. Even those people who say they do it for fun still want to know whether people are interested in their content. They can lie all they want, but I know they secretly check the views. They are humans, afterall. No one is interested in the stories of any of our lives, except you have gone through some pretty interesting stuff. But even at that, can you imagine some idiot buying a million-plus page book on your life? Nope, I wouldn’t do that, and I am an idiot. You have to skip some stuff, add some, over-exaggerate here and there, lie here and there, sound relatable, sound funny, sound interesting, and most importantly, have that factor that most people lack in their lives, both the ones they want and don’t. Face it, no one would be interested in anything that is exactly the same as theirs, unless a celebrity is involved. Those people are so lucky.

On the topic of celebrities, I would just say the usual, all you see on the screen isn't real. They are humans like us; they just separated themselves from the rest of us and stand out, smart-asses. They bleed, they cry, they breathe, they die, and they are born (they don’t fall from heaven). On this note, please stop doing odd things regarding these people. I see all those fanfictions and edits. Sometimes they are really healthy and good and a real appreciation of art, but other times they can be too... No one is your alpha, no one is secretly a werewolf or a vampire, no step-brother of yours is willing to star in some sweet-home Alabama, no one is your brother’s best friend, no one is in a forced marriage with you, and NO ONE IS A MAFIA PRINCE! Get over yourselves, and have you ever considered the fact that if you guys DMed normal stuff to celebrities that maybe, just maybe they would be willing to read the DMs of the normal fans (I am a hybrid, don’t ask).

I am out of juice, so...

BYEEEEE!
