My Relationship with Media

I remember being eight or nine when I started watching television more often. I don't recall every commercial or movie I watched, but I do remember going to see The Simpsons Movie and watching a Fox advertisement in the movie. I thought that was strange, maybe just for theaters. However, when we bought the movie later on, it was also on the disc! Since seeing a television ad blinking at me in a movie I bought, I became more aware of media. Sadly, I have totally bit into this new norm, letting it run circles in my mind when I am not around technology. As I've gotten older, I've spent less time reading, writing, sewing, or even talking to my family, as I've spent increased time with Netflix, social media, texting, and various video games. I see this happening every day, but it's easier to be alone and entertain myself with technology more and more. I wish that I wasn't so absorbed in this world that seems to suck the creativity out of you, but I can't help it.
