First World Problems

After a long conversation with a friend on the phone today, I've come to realise how much of a sucker I was for Dawson's Creek. I remember feeling so sad for Dawson when Joey went off with Pacey and now I feel like such an idiot for doing so.

I mean here is a guy, who is white, privileged has no serious problems in his life except for his girlfriend leaving him for his best friend. That is his ultimate tragedy. Jeez - who gives a shit. He embodies the very meaning of the phrase 'First world problems'.

And I don't buy the "everyone's-pain-is-unique-and-you-can't-compare-invidiuals'-suffering". That is utter bullshit. Sure, its undeniable that some people may experience serious distress over - say - recieving the wrong coloured car for their birthday.

But objectively, it really doesn't matter and the premise that their distress is just as worthwhile as someone who, say lost their family to a drone attack on their birthday - is just completely flawed.

But, mayble I am being a  little harsh on this rich privileged white girl - Let's hear what she has to say:

May the lord have mercy on our souls.

Oh and before I forget, now post about Dawson's creek would be complete without some cute pics of Joey.
