Why I love media

I’ve noticed myself being negative about media for a while now. Some media has perhaps highlighted some of my insecurities and I’ve noticed the same with many people around me. 

But I realise how much I actually love media when I’m sitting down in the living room with my brother and sister and we’re watching all the movies from the Hunger Games. I realise how much I love media when my friends send me funny memes on Instagram. I realise how much I love media when I’m talking on the phone with my grandparents. I realise how much I love media when I’m listening to the same song I’ve been listening to the whole week.

Obviously, many forms of media aren’t flawless, but I do truly love media.
