The Truman Show

I always think about how if I was living inside of a television show, what the viewers would think of me. Would they think I was funny? Would I be the main character? Or just a side character used to make the main character stand out? Would I be universally loved? Or hated? I think about these things all the time especially when I make certain choices; I envision the episode of Community where there are six different timelines based on whatever is rolled, and each one is insanely different. Then it gets me thinking: Every time I make a choice is there a timeline out there where I chose something else? If my life really was a tv show, would the audience agree with my choice, or would I be crucified by the internet? I watched the Truman Show yesterday and him being a universally beloved person had me thinking was he loved for who he was or was he only loved because of his importance? If I was the main character of a show, would they even like me? Is my life even interesting enough to keep people tuned in? Whenever I’m with my friends and they tell me about their crazy lives, I just think to myself that they would get a lot of viewers. Way more than I ever would. My life always seems so inconsequential and futile to people around me that I believe my show is the one people channel surf past or put on for background noise when people are doing something more important.
