Ever had one of those days when you watch 16 year olds in American TV series fall in oh-so-true love and do tons of other things that you wouldn’t do even at 25, and wonder why?
Where these drop dead gorgeous 16 year olds think their lives are over if the guy they crush on likes their best friend... or where they decide that it’s totally okay to be married at 16?
Where schoolwork seems nonexistent and best friends are on call 24/7. (I mean, really! Are all American television teenagers such light sleepers?)
Where eating chocolate ice cream straight from the tub on a girly slumber party seems like the solution to life’s every problem? And yet, where eating so much chocolate ice cream adds not an inch to their perfect size 2 figures?
Where it’s totally ok at 16 to fly to the ends of the earth just coz your best friend sitting in another country once cried on the phone? Or where teenagers constantly begging for an increase in their allowance or working odd jobs to buy a new dress for the prom, suddenly have enough air fare for an impromptu trip halfway across the world?
And what about this new thing some of us call ‘parents’?
Ever wondered how the so-called “feel good” factor could actually make you end up feeling crummy just coz you’re not that glamorously dressed super hot cheerleader with the extra devoted melted chocolate geeky boyfriend plus the hot jock guy totally in love with you AND the best friend who would drop the world for you?
Ever felt like you’ve skipped a whole phase in your life and suddenly woken up to find you’re 25 and most likely never even turned 16!!!
And yet… ever tried to imagine a world without our favourite TV shows? (*shudder*)
If living vicariously works for us… well, then so be it.
hehe! thanks! (oops! wasn't supposed to thank you right? 0 ;) hugs!
