The ideas of popular culture aren’t the way real people live their lives. I think we’re all pretty aware of that, and becoming more aware of it daily. Our stereotypes dissolve when we interact, when we open our hearts and see into everyone’s personal struggles to belong. Media supports stereotypes, this is the lesson we’re all learning. Media is yet another layer to a reality that is not a reflection, but a distortion to what the truth is. When we take control of how we see reality, the truth can be dazzling. Turn off all media for a few days, take a lot of walks and interact with some strangers, and see for yourself.
