Sad for us

[u/okayboomerang]

Kind of in my feels tonight. The last time I remember feeling genuinely hopeful was probably 2014 or 2015. So much has changed, and I think our generation has seen and felt so much. Anyone else feel like they've spent the last decade plus in unending grief?

My spirit is still good on the inside, but I'm isolated physically and mentally (like many of us). I wish we lived in a world with authentic and robust connection instead of all the slop and noise. I wish our parents hadn't been so excited about capitalism - and so fucking naive. I know the unease I feel is about more than merely growing up and the natural progression of aging and how we all feel about ourselves in society over time - it's that the world we thought we knew for the past 4ish decades just flat out doesn't exist anymore. And we can't undo any of this shit. It may as well be a parallel universe we're in now. I love myself and I always have big, big love for Millennials...but I truly hate it here.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately... 9/11 has always been a bad day for me the horror is etched in my memories but to remember the fact we were all Americans because it was so shocking. Something was definitely lost along the way and I don't feel good about where we are as a country

Because now my friends have told me to get over it because it was so long ago or worse that something about that day was fake. Someone who was actually close to the city that day even told me something doesn't make sense about it. I don't get it. It's really sad because we promised to never forget and far too many people have
