The Perks of Being a Late Bloomer

I remember the day I finally decided to check out that show everyone was raving about. I was still catching up on season two while the world was buzzing about the latest season of Parks and Recreation. Meanwhile, Chris Pratt was becoming a household name, starring in blockbuster hits like Jurassic World and even getting whispers about stepping into Indiana Jones’ boots. Yet here I was, still stuck with Andy Dwyer shining shoes and being the charmingly awkward ex of Rashida Jones.

This isn’t a new feeling for me. Back in 1986, I proudly announced my newfound love for a band called The Police, only to find out my friend casually mentioned they had just broken up. Talk about timing! And then there was the time my friend urged me to listen to this new artist, Norah Jones. I brushed her off, thinking her taste was too mainstream, only to be left in the dust when Norah swept the Grammy awards. Whoops! Now, those songs are among my favorites, thanks to my friend’s persistence.

But you know what? Being a late bloomer in pop culture has its perks! When I finally discover a singer, author, or show, there’s already a treasure trove of material waiting for me. It’s like stumbling upon The Beatles as a teenager; their evolution from matching suits to iconic solo careers is a fascinating journey that I can experience in its entirety. Their early hits are just as thrilling as their later classics, especially with all the context and history behind them.

TV shows? They’re a different ballgame. While music often requires multiple listens to fully appreciate, I can dive right into a series with just one binge-watch. Remember when Netflix announced it would be airing Gilmore Girls? While others reminisced about their favorite episodes, it was all fresh and exciting for me. I had seven seasons of drama, laughter, and heartwarming moments to devour without interruptions.

And let’s not forget those gripping moments in shows like Parenthood. When a character faces a health crisis, I could easily hop onto Google to see if they made it through, which made the viewing experience all the more enjoyable.

So yes, being a late bloomer might not be ideal in some areas of life—like the awkwardness of delayed puberty or the ups and downs of romance—but in pop culture? It’s a unique gift. Just think: I still have the thrill of waiting to see the infamous “Red Wedding” on Game of Thrones, and I get to enjoy a marathon of Parks and Recreation all at once instead of in bite-sized pieces. Bring on the fun!
