Last night I finally had the chance to read my magazine that I got on a couple of days ago. I didn't immediately read it because one: I had tons of homework to do (mostly WHAP) and two: the last one I got I didn't find particularly interesting. Anyway, so I started reading and as I got further and further into it, I noticed how many things in there are a bit superficial. I don't mean to say that the whole thing is worthless, but much of its content had to do with ways to please other people, directly and indirectly. Sometimes I wonder how much time in our lives we actually spend trying to pass off an image of perfection, while hiding our true selves. I know, that sounds a bit fortune cookie-y or like some kind of motivational saying, but sometimes I find it amazing what people will do just to be liked, as if the only way to like yourself is if other people do. Of course I'm not perfect, so I'm guilty too. It was just something that made me think.
On a lighter note, I just watched Kid Nation and it was pretty interesting; its nice when tv shows aren't the same thing over and over again. :)
