Being an adult *sucks*. There's no way around it. Because the alternative is to remain immature....and that's no way to live, either.
It doesn't mean you have to be joyless - but the trick is having to fit that in and around adult responsibilities that often are no fun at all. The things that, when you were a kid, or a student, were someone else's responsibility, and you could just go la la la I don't seeeeee youuuuu.
I have no advice on how it's done - I never was able to figure that part out when I *was* a kid.
I just look at how House turned out and am afraid to hope for the best. I think that bullshit has internally affected me way more than I realize, and who knows if I'll ever deal with it properly.
Me, too. And I look at it, and myself, and think - why on *earth* should this affect me so much? It's a freaking TV SHOW. What's the point of getting worked up about it at all?? Except....I'm wired to live my life in stories. So many people in my life live without caring about stories at all - and as a result they seem to have a ton of time for other things, but....that just seems like such an empty way to live, for me. I'd be lost without my stories, and imagination. There's such richness in an intellectually-full life, in things that make you think, and feel - and what better way to do that than storytelling?
I wouldn't even say I'm completely joyless, it's just... different. It gets so hidden under all of the other crap. And House - omg me too! I'm pissed that it even affects me this much! And I have this constant craving for some epic story, I used to live through it (and through them) but now it's like... I have to look to real life for it and it's just not here right now (or ever, I don't even know). I think that's a large part of my crash to reality, tbh. Before, I could deal with stupid shit because I always had something to escape into afterward and I don't really have that anymore. And it wasn't just the show!outlet that I lost - I lost the related art/photoshop and editing outlets as well.

HOLY SHIT I'm frantically finishing report cards so I can't comment on this in any detail right now but I WILL BE BACK because I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS SO MUCH RECENTLY.
ME TOO ME TOO. fuck so much to say. SOLIDARITY NOW, articulation later. ♥ ♥
