Minnesota

As someone who used to always have it, I had it let me down too many times. Like, almost every single time.

But, I do have a yearning for the next generation to be more aggressive when it comes to making changes that are for the better despite the calls from those who don't want things to change to never change anything. They do seem to be less inclined to fall for the usual propaganda. They also have not fallen for the old 'if you work hard, you will become successful' trope either. This will have an immeasurable effect on how our society views such things as 'work' and 'necessity'. By that reckoning, I do hope that things will improve one day.

As an old Trekkie, hope is something that used to be ingrained in me. As someone who never fit into the societal mold that we created, hope just became a major tigger for depression and anxiety. Because it became clear just how fantastical the concept of 'hope' was.

May the next generation learn not to fall for the hype and start pushing for some reality in our society.
