Glad the boomers are on the way out. As a Gen X'er, not sure we care enough to take charge.
It's cool you'll get like four years then we millennials will take over.
Please be kind. We're exhausted and broken.
Watching helplessly for 40 or 50 years while your parents' generation destroys everything will do that
and it hurts now to get out of bed.
And to be in bed
You guys are ok with us. Z seems cool too
Millennials seem cool. They called bullshit on a lot of stuff that X just shrugged at and tried to slack our way around. I don’t usually know what Z is saying but they seem to at least have moved in a less overtly toxic direction, and they put weak but real taboos on stuff like bullying that no prior generation did.
It’s all good. I’m gonna go let myself into the empty house and make a PB&J now.
Don't know about you, but I'm out here slackin' away.
Slack Off!
As an aging millennial, I am surprised by how the process of time works.
Like you spend your life acquiring skills and using your knowledge in an ever expanding cornucopia of experiences.
Then followed by a gradual decline to be left only with your memories of who you once were. But then you realize you were only a small part of the existence of others, and ultimately the universe. Yep, the thought of faculties diminishing over time is enough to put the one into an extensional crisis.
Yup. This is a wise time in your life to start your estate planning, medical directives, etc. Find yourself a good lawyer for this. I'm sure the cost varies by location and practice, but mine was only about $1,500 US.
I'm just trying to exist in peace. That already feels like an impossibility.
