GENERATION #</lost

I’ve been thinking about NOT publishing this but what the hell let me disappoint an ENTIRE GENERATION.

Research shows that by the time you, yes YOU, are 28 to about 34 you will have hit mid-mid-life crisis at least 3 times. This mid-mid-life crisis is characterized by the realization that everything you grew up believing was ALL LIES and I know this because I have experienced it a couple of times myself. I guess it is a normal rite of passage in the twenty-first century though I could be wrong. It’s a millennial problem, our generation, we grew up thinking we were “ENTITLED” that the world owed us a good life, that we would have it “COMING EASY”. At this point if the term “millennial” sounds like witchcraft to you, you should probably google it. Growing up we were raised by the TV where we saw fast cars, beautiful people, the high life, Vegas, billionaires and celebrities just to point out a few. Chuck Norris probably deserves special mention. Majority of us were told we were special, that we could be anything we wanted. That we could all be presidents, millionaires, billionaires, celebrities… anything WE WANTED. We interpreted the statement “you can be anything you want” to mean “if you want it “IT” will come to you automatically”. And that is how the cookie crumbles (Bruce Almighty). Good thing about this point in the story is that most of us are now coming to realize that we were WRONG. But how could we be wrong? Let’s go over a few COLD, HARD TRUTHS. You are NOT ENTITLED to anything. The world OWES YOU NOTHING. If you want something you HAVE TO GO GET IT. That is what our fathers’ and grandfathers’ generation understood. Blood, sweat and tears are NOT DIRTY. Blood, sweat and tears are proof that you are working your ass off and not waiting for somebody to CROWN YOU something you most likely don’t deserve. We are the SOFTEST generation of the last 3000 years. Stuff on in the INTERNET is giving us sleepless nights. We have not gone two or three days without food and water and no way to ask for help. We are the LOST GENERATION. Not all of us are going to be presidents, billionaires, celebrities and the like. It is STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. The fact that you are special in your own way applies to everybody. So millennials: GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND WORK YOUR ASSES OFF. After you’ve had a few of these mid-mid-life crises starting from your late teens there are a few important things you know and trust me I know.

It’s true, the truth hurts… only if you let it.
