reality tv
this is what i
want to see:
a 30-year old
average-looking couple
married for a number
of years,
working daily
on what
it takes to keep a
marriage successful,
struggling
to make ends meet
and failing more
often than not,
plugging their way
through shitty
jobs because their
life didn't exactly turn
out like expected,
no longer drinking
for fun, but
to simply survive
and coming to terms
with not being
20 years old anymore.
this is reality.
