Hollywood Infected Your Brain

"Hollywood infected your brain,

you wanted kissing in the rain."

Not just a bloody masterpiece of modern music by Marina Diamandis, but frighteningly true. We're inundated from birth with Hollywood's idealistic ideas. You hit 15, you meet a boy and suddenly you're blaming Disney for your high expectations of men. Kissing in the rain - Slightly overrated and well not enjoyable considering most girls spend this 20 second long kiss freaking out about how frizzy their hair will get. Prince Charming - Well if you can find him honey, send him my goddamn way.

People have flaws. Life is not idyllic. And this becomes all the more evident as we grow older. Cynicism sets in, the ups and downs look more like downs. We have a tendency to remember the worst of times rather than the good. We break up with someone and it is the drastic harsh breakup that lingers in our minds, not the beautiful memories created before it.

Hollywood's infected our brain, we're not going to kiss in the rain and once we realise this we're going to become pretty cynical... But only because we're still naive... ;)
