This is the most gen x post ever

Making a new one?
It wasn't an addition.

I mean, the alternative was to crumble.
I mean, fuck. I was just thinking it through -
In the U.S., Most millennials started out in the wake of the war on drugs and the damage it did to communities. From there, you have the racial tension of the 90’s, the death of truth with Fox News, the rise of school shootings, 9/11, the start of the rightward/authoritarian swing of the U.S., the ‘08 recession, citizens united, loss of democracy, COVID, another recession, inflation, housing insecurity, the loss of the illusion of democracy.I remember back in 1999, when I was a kid, hearing folks talk about how in just a few years weed was going to be legal and so was gay marriage. I remember thinking that the future was going to be bright and not some authoritarian hellscape. Now there are license plate readers at the grocery store parking lot.
I mean. If we didn’t know how to manage the feelings we have about the future we were promised and lost, and all the trauma we’ve experienced along the way, I guess we’d all wind up driving Dodge Rams with U.S. Flags on them.
But at least you got the good music in the 90s and early 2000s, Gen X didn't get that, but was born into the hellhole you describe

What‽ Therapy is our thing. We can't afford a house but by fuck we go to therapy even if we have to cut down on avocado toast

Talking shit on here is my therapy. That and screaming at sky tempting god to show himself so I can kick his ass.
Only thing I miss about the Midwest is the sky sometimes showed you gods in the form of a real good storm head

Is this what you call “tuff only in Oklahoma”?

Depends on your damage.
Too much of it and yet I also don't care too much anymore. I've learned to just let things go. Forgive? Maybe. I'll be nice to you. Forget? No, I won't be betrayed twice by the same person.

Not trying to be a dick, but it's gonna sound it: Yes, absolutely, just by that comment there are benefits worth the price. I hope you are able to seek the help you need dude.
Till then try not to close down, it's hard to open again after.

Yes, the cycle continues for as long as humanity exists.

I'm only closed to people who have deleted several years of my life expectancy tbh. I'm pretty open to most people. Perhaps one day I'll have time to get therapy. Till then I'll have to vent to friends and strangers on the Interwebs. At least my friends and family are very supportive, so they know what's been going on.

Why would I want to drown out the sweet sounds of an LS V8 purring out of my catback exhaust?

I'd argue that's still not turning in to boomers, since most millenials don't mindlessly suck off nostalgia, perpetually misremember history, and idolize American imperialism.

Sure, compared to food or shelter it’s in the ‘nice to have’ category. But for me at least it’s shown a lot of things that I would never have understood or probed deeply enough to address. Better relationships, more understanding of self/finding your actual self, handle adversity better, etc etc
You don’t have to sign up for endless sessions, you can quite viably do a few introductory sessions and ask for takeaway homework/tools to use. Return as needed or when you’ve found a new topic that you feel needs work.
Just do what I do and hate yourself enough while being introspective to never avoid the rough roads. I'm a ridiculously better person than I used to be without having to pay someone else a week's worth of groceries for an hour of venting.

That's a Boomer-ass decal that Millennial has on his window.
