An outlet for emotions: Books or Tv Shows

Infront of her screen, mindlessly watching some tv show, having a laugh her and there slowly
realizing she just binged a 15-hour show. My sister watches way too many tv shows. 269 to be
exact. My sister and many others I know watch shows as an escape, a place to go so as to vent
out your emotions. Now when one feels overwhelmed, why is it that they chose not to read a
book but rather watch a show on that site that wavers on the line of being legal. is it illegal-no,
is it legal- questionable…?

There is a particular procedure one follows to cope with these feelings


1. punch. anything., ideally not people
2. talk to someone about it - like the numerous monologues I have with myself on a daily
basis. (is this relatable? or just weird.)
3. find relief in entertainment
In the 3rd step, books are a lot better than shows
It’s perfect to refresh your mind, reduces stress and has an overall healing effect whereas
shows increase your heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety causing epinephrine rushes, affecting
cognitive and deductive reasoning, and adding to your list of insecurities. Hence next time you
want to let go of your worries – read a book. And -
4. just go on reddit—it helps
Also if you ever come across my sister, please don’t tell her I used her as a lab rat for my
project.
