Its Quite Frustrating...
when I am unable to share my passion for certain things with people around me. For eg.:
My passion for : The people around are mostly homophobic and highly moralistic. Homouality is not even discussed in a good manner. Once a friend of mine asked me, with a high sense of disgust,"How can men do it with men? How can they feel attraction for someone with the same physical features? And even if they do it, what's the purpose? (She was saying how they can't get children out off such relationship)" and finally she asked me, "Don't you think its disgusting?"
Do you know how we came to discuss this topic? We were talking about Oscar Wilde. For her, his works are great and his words are full of power and wisdom. But she is disgusted with the man himself.
My reaction was only a smile. I just can't reason with such people.
I can't tell such people that I am not homophobic like them and that I love reading& watching works. I can't tell them that Yun &Jae belong to each other. I just can't share my thoughts with them.
Next is my passion for Kpop.
When I first started listening to Jpop and singing some songs, my parents, especially Mom said I was being weird. But slowly she started enjoying them. Still she continued making fun of me and Japanese words. My friends made fun of me too. But still I continued with my hobby.
Then I started listening to Kpop and got totally hooked to DB5K. Again everyone called me strange. God, its just sooooooo frustrating that they don't want to listen to those songs for even one minute! They just ask me "What language is this?" and the moment I say Japanese or Korean, they say "What? Why are you listening to those? Listen to something normal." Normal for them= our mother tongue or other national languages or English.
Everything else is abnormal.
I call them musically narrow minded.
But the strangest thing is they love Gangnam style.
They think Psy is the only Korean singer and all Korean songs are like Gangnam style.
for example, take a look at this discussion-
Me: I love Korean songs.
Others: Oh! Like Gangnam style? Like songs by Psy?
Me: No. Like Mirotic by Dong Bang Shin Ki.
Others: Dog bank what?
Me: (Sigh) Dong Bang Shin Ki. DBSK for short.
Others: Never heard of them. Are they like Psy?
Me: They are better. Want to listen? (Gives them my mobile filled with Kpop)
Others: Umm...no thanks. Why don't you listen to something normal? Like English? You are really weird.
Me:*smile*
Because I just don't want to explain my Dbsk passion to them.
