Teenage Addictions

Watching programs, eating, sleeping, seems to be a massive part of my life at the moment.  I don't know what it is, I don't know why I do it, but there is something I think I find addictive about them.

Lets start with sleeping - Sleeping lets me go into that world of my own perfection, a world away from what society wants, a place where I can actually sing, dance, find love over and over again, a place where I can be whoever, and whatever I want.  That place that, takes me away from the reality of this world and puts me into a complete perfection that I can imagine to be real.  Sleep is one of my three teenage addictions.

Eating - a pleasure, a torment, a way to understand what I like, and dislike, the things I love, hate, find exciting all are shown from what I love to eat.  Lasagna, that is my favourite dish.  It reminds me of home, when I am very far away, it brings a subtle feel of hope and adoration of my home and the people that made it.  Sounds strange but food is also one of my addictions, it can bring people together, when they share noodles or spaghetti it has that fairy tale romance about it. 

Programs, is probably my final normal teenage addiction - Programs, and I mean Televised programs, are my other addiction, from One Tree Hill to Awkward, the way those programs either center around perfection or that scripted reality, there is always something inspiring to see on there. From a couples first kiss, to that dramatic break up you just didn't want to happen.  Seems strange that a guy like myself loves these programs so much, but it is with the belief that my life could turn out to be one of those televised programs (Cliched right :P)  I just love the way no matter what, the protagonist always has a happy ending and that is how I think life turns out.
