I Have NO Guilty Pleasures

And why they’re stupid!

So many times in society, we hear people say that they have a “Guilty pleasure”, and every time I hear this, I want to smack the person saying it. I don’t understand what it is with people that they feel they can’t express their likes openly without trying to put those likes down.

WHEN DID LIFE BECOME ABOUT HIDING OUR LIKES?

How many times have you said that you like something and then sort of laughed it off, saying that it’s your guilty pleasure? When did life become about only liking what is currently in.

I hate this attitude. It happens with movies; tv; games… pretty much anything you can think of. The fact is, if you like it, then you like it, and that’s all there is to it. People can try and tell you that you shouldn’t like something, but if you do, then that’s okay and if your friends disagree, then maybe you need to re-evaluate your friendships.

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS MADE ME MISERABLE

I’ve been through the motions of hiding the music and tv that I like, and you know what? It made me miserable. So now, if someone asks me what music I like, I tell them (and believe me, it’s an extremely eclectic mix, ranging from Britney Spears to Linkin Park, to Hillsong Worship, and everywhere in between) and you know what?
