"i don't wana be anything other than what i've been tryna be lately..."

i was just wondering, if an American life is really like what it seems on tv. like what i'm watching now, those people live outrageous lives. they pregnate themselves in high school, raise their own children while schooling, sleep around like FWB [friends with benefits], cheat on their best friends then make-up, marry when in love [and believe me, at a far too young age], dating a college professor, commiting adultary when their marriage are on the rocks [or even before], fathering 2 sons...just to name a few. is it real or is it just drama?

i'd like to believe they're overrated but a part of me feels that lives like that aren't really a bad thing. not that i'm supporting the sleeping around part but it's definitely more interesting than anticipating sales and queueing at zouk.

though we do have small estates and towns here, it's far from what it's like in western countries. people know you by name even when you stay three streets down. here, i don't even know who's staying around the corner of my flat. it can be a bad thing though if too many people know you, especially when you don't wana get busted for screwing things up. to be straight, life here is safe, comfortable, routine.....mundane. anything else on the list above is pure taboo.

now why does it seem like i'm taking my life for granted? am i wrong to want something more than just being comfortable? i wish i had problems like the characters do, but i'd safely rule out adultary or anything that has to do with sexuality. what the hell....i'm still conservative in the right way.

hmmm...just so you know, it's actually a 'food for thought' after a whole day of OTH marathon.
