This post is about something that really bothers me. And I will admit that I have, in the past, been one of the "haters." Which is very sad. You may judge me as much as you want for this post, I don't give a crap. I'll just leave all you haters behind.
Why does the human race need to hate people all the time? We naturally look for the bad in those around us. We look for the things that make a book 'lame' or a movie 'stupid' or a singer 'pathetic.' But does this really even matter? Who gives a crap?
Let me use a few examples. I will start with Justin Bieber. He started singing in the year 2009, when he was 15 years old. So naturally, his voice was not completely puberty-itized. He sang high, but holy crap, could that boy sing. I hear so many things about Bieber, how rude he is, how immature he is, how he makes stupid decisions in life. Guys, he's freaking a teenager! Still! In March 2014, he will reach 20 years old. I did stupid things as a teenager. That's how life goes. You do stupid things and you learn from them. I feel so bad for Bieber, so much attention. Why does everyone have to point out his mistakes? I think it is absolutely ridiculous. Let me tell you something I like about Justin Bieber. He has an INCREDIBLE singing voice. I enjoy a good number of his songs, though not all of them. But when I do hear one of his songs, I am always amazed at how great of a voice he has. This young man is incredibly talented. And if he makes bad choices, who cares? He is a singer, not the world's savior.
Another very hated thing these days: The Twilight Saga. I will begin with the books. I have read the entire series 3 times. I LOVE these books! Stephanie Meyer, although not necessarilly the most skilled writer of all time, is a fantastic story teller. And that's what these books are, stories. Not real life. Fiction. So people get all hung up on how ridiculous and unrealistic it is. Fiction people. And a very fun and entertaining story. I love how Meyer is able to go so deep into a character's personality and help it shine through. That takes talent. I really love those books.
The Twilight Saga movies. I cannot even to begin to describe the amount of hate these movies get. People genuinely despise these movies. Here's one thing that REALLY bugs me bout them though, is the teenagers who loved the first two movies then got all embarrassed to be watching them because they would get made fun of for seeing the movies. What a cruel world! I personally do not own the Twilight movies, but I enjoy them. They are not the best movies I have ever seen, but I do find them entertaining. I think they are decent films. It makes me sad that they get so much crap. If you don't like a movie, you don't need to bring down the world telling people about how stupid you think it is.
And for another singer, I'll talk about Miley Cyrus. She's gotten pretty rebellious and crazy lately, which is ok. She can do what she wants as this is a free country. I think she is a decent singer, I liked a few of her older songs, but I'm not really into her newer style of music. And that's just my personality speaking. I do think that she has talent. And even though she does, everyone feels the need to degrade her and make fun of her and just hate her for how she chooses to live her life. Get over it, people.
So there's my post. So many people just want to hate, hate, hate, and forget to look for the good in others. The world is a beautiful and amazing place! Don't ruin it by degrading everything that isn't YOUR favorite. I know that there are people who do not like Justin Bieber, Twilight, and Miley Cyrus. This doesn't mean you should be a crap of a human being about them. Grow up. Be kind to others.
And speaking of haters, my favorite song by AWOLNATION is "Wake Up." In the chorus is one of my favorite lines, "We're leaving all the haters behind." Frankly, I don't like people that hate on each other. So I will leave them behind and keep the happy people around. :) Here's a link to the song if you don't know it:
