Reality.

The other day I was in major procrastination mode.  I decided to catch up on some TV shows such as How I Met Your Mother and Glee.  It's convenient that certain websites let you watch all of the episodes for free without having to download anything.  The How I Met Your Mother episode was super adorable.  In the end, Ted proposed to "the mother" on top of a beautiful lighthouse that overlooked the ocean.  Glee was also enjoyable.  Kurt was holding auditions for a band he was creating.  This one guy came to audition and was freaking amazing.  

After watching these two shows:
1. I wished that I had a cute and romantic guy like Ted.  Ted and the mom (did they say her name yet? I can't remember) are so in love and it's so cute and I'm so jealous.  
Even the two gay guys on Glee are an adorable couple! I am even jealous of their relationship (in a non-homosexual way though haha). When Blaine proposed to Kurt it made me tear up a bit, which is very unlike me.  

[side note: speaking of homosexuals, Illinois finally passed the same sex marriage bill this week.  Yay!]

2. I wished that I could wow people with an amazing talent (it doesn't have to be singing).

I really am perfectly content with my life, my (lack of) dating situation, the talents that I do have, etc.  But when I watch these shows I can't help but think to myself I WANT THAT.  Even though it is a show and not reality, there is some truth behind it.  I've seen real life couples who appear as soul mate worthy as TV show lovers.  However, the show ends and I continue on with my day. I forget about all of the things  that the shows made me wish that I had in my life.  I'm 22 years old.  I have time.
