The Strange Need For Dramatization

Life isn't exactly boring. After all, it isn't worth living if it isn't as good as your favorite movie. 

I want you to remember a movie that tries to make something boring overly dramatic. Think of watching a movie where the main character just sleeps. That's it. Just sleeping.

Now imagine adding CGI thought bubbles. Extreme slow motion. Epic music. Sleep doesn't seem boring. It just looks retarded. That's what some people are doing. I call them the Dramatizers.

A message to dramatizers:

You don't have to make your problems look bigger. Seriously, we know it's bad, but we know that it's not THAT bad. 

Your girlfriend maybe bitchy, but do you really need to panic if she doesn't clean up your mess? Having someone else clean your mess is not a problem. Making it look bigger is.

Leaving for another country? That's sad. Everyone here is going to miss you, until you start screaming like your mother died when someone didn't know.

There's no need to announce that mess. Just clean it up. Some things are great for your biography, but make it great by showing us that you really are awesome, not talking about how hard it was to order someone to pick up a glass of water.

Reality shows look interesting, right? This is real footage. Real drama. No wait, it's just an editor who took out most of the happy moments away. False alarm. Not to mention, how long it takes to edit all those eating scene. Mustard all over the CCTV. Damn, if I was that editor, I would wish that his life was as interesting as the show he was editing right now. Sadly, it's not real.

Don't try to make your life look interesting by adding artificial problems. It's cute at first, until we realize how pathetic you were when you talked about the horror of losing a strand of hair. Besides, we have our own problems.

Wait, you demand a speech. What's that? You deserve recognition for being more special than the rest of us, mere mortals. Suck it up! Your part of the human race. Only the minority doesn't think they're special. You may be good in singing, dancing, academics and impressing those cubicle dudes, but the hacker right beside you is more deserving of my praise.
