When they ask you what legacy you will leave behind?
Say sadness, say loneliness, say everything.
When they say, millennials are invincible, fight back.
Yes, we are a lost generation, yes, we are always unhappy, always insecure and overthinking, always on antidepressants and vitamin supplements, always on our phones.
Always angry at the world and ourselves. We take pride in being sleep deprived. We are still hustling. We do not know where we are going.
We are sad, lost and filled with rage.
When our kids play Doctor-Doctor, we will teach them to play Therapist -Therapist because who will listen to them?
Enough of the blame game. When they try to steal your voice, Fight back.
