Is a age that is both full of, and devoid of opportunities. I feel like being a adult is just lying about how much you have your shit together to people who also lie about having their shit together. After we got out of college, we are just going to sit in front of a computer like the generations before us for the rest of our life, with the only difference of be paided less then them. I don’t want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world. When we gen z first comes to high school the world seems full of opportunities, we imagine us achieving great things, but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.
To all the Gen Z, and in the future, Gen Alpha. Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.
Well of course not all of them are going to be antithetical to capital. Affirmations are to remind you of positive thoughts without being toxic. They serve to remind you that life is more than making money for someone else.
I also don’t believe that we should discount someone’s work because the owner got involved. Like it sucks to see someone younger than you get handed everything and more that you’ve struggled to earn, but it’s less to do with the person being given the stuff and more to do with the person doing the giving.
