Millennials watched everything collapse in 2008, then got handed student debt, got called entitled for wanting a living wage, survived a pandemic in our prime years, and got priced out of life. And y’all wonder why we’re not okay? We’ve been in survival mode for 20 years.
The reason millennials are so nostalgic is that they got a brief taste of a world that wasn’t entirely controlled by the stupidest people who’ve ever lived.
Something that breaks my heart as a Millennial is how fucking optimistic and fun our teenage years and 20s were. Like we envisioned a TOTALLY different world from the one that we've got and insanely divorced from what Gen-Z are experiencing. Its hard to put in words how fantastic we thought life was gonna be and how it seemed like we were making tangible social progress. We've had all of that ripped away from us.
Estou totalmente convencida de que 2019 foi o último ano normal que tivemos. Desde então, parece que tudo está quebrado. Todos estão constantemente ansiosos, o tempo passa rápido demais e nada parece real. O mundo como o conhecíamos simplesmente desapareceu.
We are no longer seen as human beings with free spirits and creative thought, who love, work and build. We are now data. Statistics. Graphs. Pie charts. Profit margins. Experiments. Reports. Markets. Files.
