Hardwiring?

I'll keep this short because it's almost 12.30 am and I have work tomorrow.

So I was just talking to a friend of mine who was tired of fancying guys who didn't fancy her in return. I replied with, 'hear hear, hun', which sparked a conversation about what the media does to us (whoa, huge shocker coming from this blog, eh? Like I bitch about anything else!). I wrote it out and, reading back on it, thought that it was worded pretty well (in my most humble opinion). So here it is.

We're trained from a young age to think that we'll be with someone when we're young and then be with that person forever and ever. We aren't trained to accept that these things happen in their own time. We're programmed to believe that everything will happen the way it should and that we'll all get the one we're supposed to get by the time we're old enough to know that boys and girls are different and how pleasurable sex can be. We're hardwired to think that we'll never end up alone and if you're still alone by the time you're in your twenties and up, there MUST be something wrong with you.

Go back and read "WTF Disney?!" and you'll understand where I'm coming from. It's ridiculous that we have these standards for ourselves and yet, most of us cannot even name why we have such a standard in life!

By the way, in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm not the media's biggest fan X_X
