Yeah kinda. We've gone through everything that the Millennials have plus some.
In my years, I've lost a home, two cars, four careers, buried 5 close family members including parents and a sibling. Been an alcoholic, recovered. Had severe depression. Recovered. Had Nearly lost my partner to illness and helped her learn to walk and eat again. Been so broke a few times that I was stealing water from construction sites so we could flush our toilet. Laid to rest a dozen beloved pets. Said goodbye more times than hello.
I'm back on my feet, starting over. Again. A little wiser, a little more battered and scarred up, a lot more tired. Missing a few teeth and all my hair, but still going.
The world right now is a massive mess, don't get me wrong. We're in real trouble. But at this point I don't think anything short of an actual band of raiders with halberds chasing me down through the woods is going to end this ride for me. At this rate, might happen.
wait really? i don't see how time could work that way
I used to roll my eyes when older people said that time keeps repeating, that everything happens over and over again.
Then I got old and started seeing everyone making the same damn mistakes over and over and over again, the same events recycling but with new actors, people not learning from the past, not working together, not writing things down so we don't forget, and yeah, I DO get it now. The adult blackpill is a lot darker and more bitter than the one you swallow when you're an irate teen who thinks the world owes you something. I would love to go back in time and have that energy again.
Nature doesnt owe us, humanity does. We havent come this far to cock it up now
You got to buy houses at a reasonable price and had proper student unions, don't @ me.
I'm sure you think that's true.
