We are the 90's kids
We are the millennials
But most of all,we are a seriously messed up generation.
We are stuck in the simple past, the high paced present and the unbelievably dynamic and questionable future
Most of are breaking our backs in the same mundane yet safe professions-engineers,doctors and bankers etc but suddenly the world around us has become cut throat competitive and incredibly pretentious.
We have this constant urge to hustle-for more money,for better designations and therefore leading to a better sense of respect and admiration.
Not that ambition is objectionable but the imposition of an unreasonable and expected level of ambition as a form of general acceptance in society-that's objectionable.
We as a generation have tonnes of emotional baggage being stuck with choosing the defined way most of our parents found partners and then love or going the modern way of finding love followed by a partnership.
We have years of conditioning,biases and generational traumas to top it all up.
We are continuously trying to please-sometimes our own egos feeding our ambitions or sometimes the society at large.
Quite a lot of us are now spouses and parents now-still figuring out what it means to stay abreast with the needs and demands of our newly assumed roles.
During all of this,some of us slow down,take a pause or maybe even break down.
And that's okay,trust me its fine.
It's fine till the time we know that it's what we need in life for ourselves,what makes us feel better and not trapped in this cage of expectations to live a certain defined way by the society.
Because happiness should not come in the end of the checklist we seem to have created for ourselves to live life as per the expected norms.
And, I hope we understand this in each of our lives before it's too late.
We are the 90's kids
We are the millennials
We are a truly fucked up tribe.
But you know what?
We are okay!
We've got this!
