I told my therapist:
“I’m not suicidal…
but I’m tired in a way that scares me.”
She didn’t brush it off.
She didn’t say “everyone gets tired.”
She didn’t tell me to think positive.
She said softly:
My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted.
People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?”
Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer?
Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being???
“Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.
If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why yall don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?

This is boomer snark that misses the point
A $150 pair of shoes and a $1,000 phone aren’t "luxuries"
They've become baseline participation costs in modern American life
You need a smartphone to apply for jobs, access your bank account, do your schoolwork, and communicate with anyone
$150 shoes aren’t extravagant when a pair of basic Nikes starts at $90 and falls apart in 6 month
The real question that boomers cannot grasp
-Why does a young person in the wealthiest country in history need to spend $1,200/month on a shared apartment,
buy a $1000 phone designed to go extinct in a few years,
and carry $100,000 in student debt for a degree that was supposed to be the ticket to the middle class,
and watch home prices triple in 20 years while wages moved maybe 15%?
Nobody is claiming they can’t afford coffee. They’re saying that even doing everything right , a degree, job, no frivolous spending, the math doesn’t work the way it did in 1985 when you could pay tuition with a summer job and buy a house at 24 on one income.
Pointing at a kid’s shoes while ignoring the disparity in cost of living is missing the forest for the trees
Consumer goods are a net loss over time
And the things that actually build wealth, like property, education, healthcare, they all got 5-10x more expensive
Would you rather they get a magic marker from the dollar tree store and write it on a cardboard sign?
Imbecile.
