The more celebrities i keep hearing and seeing this stuff about, and realizing i have no idea who they are, the more and more i appreciate the childhood my parents gave me. I’m not even 25 yet, and I'm coming to realize that I’m literally the only person i know irl my age that doesn’t know who most of these famous people even are. People think i’m crazy for never seeing movies that “literally everyone has seen a million times”, esspecciallly disney movies. They think i was sheltered, but i think i was lucky.

Most of the people i know are crazed by hollywood, disney, and the big music that they kinda force people to… i guess, consume. It’s caused me to not be able to connect with a lot of people my own age, simply because that stuff is now apparently so entrenched in the culture, that i can’t have a decent conversation with tons and tons of people. The moment someone brings up a movie “that i surely must have watched and that i’m not remembering correctly”, and i say that I’ve never actually heard of that movie or know anything remotely to what it’s about, i can tell that they all of a sudden view me as an outcast and i notice that they start treating me differently, even turning me into the punchline of a joke between themselves.

Fuck them. I would rather own my own mind than be stuck thinking about that shit. Any person like that can suck my dick i wouldn’t care if they never talked to me again.

But still, it completely blows my mind over and over again how many of these sick pop culture creeps i’ve been lucky enough to never have been exposed to growing up.
