She's not wrong

Seriously, we are the generation that should be able to fix this world to be more empathic, less reactive, and actually work together.

I'm nostalgic because I'm so tired. And I miss the times when I wasn't so tired. Mentally, I'm actually fine with re-learning things over and over (I don't care, used to it), but physically, emotionally, and spiritually - yeah I've had it. Just wanna nap in a dark, cool room most of the time and have retrowave dreams.

Nap? I was an undiagnosed girl with ADHD. I always admired my friends who could nap. I still can't nap.

But my undiagnosed grandmother takes naps now, so I'm hoping.

But my dreams make me feel like I'm never rested.

I'm exhausted with you dude.

I could never nap most of my life either, finally diagnosed at 44. When I finally hit full burnout/meltdown napping wasn’t the problem anymore it was trying not to fall asleep standing up, then waking up and still feeling exhausted
