Gen Z and our future
Growing up in my generation seemed easy at first. All of the advances that generations past never had to learn from seemed to be an up side, or a pro as you will. That was the case until 2020 and 2021. Schools and businesses proceeded to panic about the outbreak of Covid 19 otherwise known as Corona virus. We were all shut indoors, socialization was either nonexistant or we played games or called with the convienence of technology. It seemed refreshing at first, not having to go directly to our schools or jobs, until we were shown what it's like to grow up shut in. This was a big start to my depression and anxiety about going places with large groups of people. This includes stores like Walmart or even just school.
By the end of the scare of Corona, I ended up with moderate to severe depression and an anxiety disorder. It cast me into a feeling that continues to stay with me even up to this day. As a 20 year old woman, I still get anxiety about being in public places. I've noticed that my generation was stunted. What our generation past considered normal was all of a sudden out of reach for my generation. Homes are too expensive, even the smallest apartment can end up being too much for us. We're constantly looked at as lazy or immature but it's exactly what the older generations did to stunt us. Schools don't teach how to prepare for society, they only bait you into throwing yourself into lifelong debt to get a college degree that won't help you at all. Jobs require experience yet they refuse to take a chance on us.
Now I can go on and on about what my generation has to worry about, but I think the biggest picture right now should be our legislation, presidency, epstein files, and immature war. Trump, and his ancient friends decide that while everything falls apart in our country, we need the whole world against us just to cover their tracks. The human trafficking, epstein island, it's all being covered up by the scariest thing I've ever worried about. World war III. As a woman with 4 brothers and two sisters, I worried constantly growing up that they would be drafted and changed permanently. The draft has given me such anxiety but nothing like it is now. Is anyone else worried that our government wants our people to fight a war they begged not to have?
Sometimes I wish that we could put all the politicians of the world in a room to fight it out themselves without the threat of nuclear warfare on innocent civilians in any country. Growing up I was told that America is the home of the free and the brave. But now all I'm seeing are the cowards trying to cover heinous crimes by destroying everything our country stood for. I thought the worst thing I'd have to worry about would be this terrible housing market, but no my anxiety screams when I see plane streaks in the sky, wondering if it's our turn to feel the devistating blow of nuclear warfare. What is this world capable of doing to cover their own mistakes? I wonder that almost daily now. The arguing over which person should control our country when all of them are corrupt seems to be a waste of time. Our country is devided over terrible people, so much so that the big picture is almost completely invisible. Does anyone else worry about their future in this? There's no winners in war, especially nuclear war. I fear that humanity will end themselves over petty things. Destroying the world we know to build one exactly in their corrupt image.
