generation

the fact that one day my generation will be completely forgetten saddens me, and it has already started. i think of all those people who lived in the 40's, the 80's, they all seem young to me now, because now i know how fast time passes. i know how just a few years ago they were young just like me, they had it all, no one was younger than them. i too was young, but i am not anymore. and i am only twenty.

it is so easy to become old. it is so easy to not understand anything that newly came out. i for instance have no idea what the stuff on tiktok means, i can't even find it funny.

and since we are no longer the youngest, we have also stopped getting attention, which is hard to get used to. we are no longer the people they mean when they say "the new generation" we are no longer their target. now they just expect us to have children, or assume that we are already married, settled people.

and the thing that scares me is that one day we will be the oldest generation. no one older than us. no one to give us advice, no one to look up to. not a single person in the world will be older. and just imagine the last person on earth that was from your generation. how that person would feel so out of place, how they no longer have anyone that went through the same decades as them. it sounds terrifying to me, and i hope my generation, against all odds, can connect with each other, i hope we all have so much love in the future, when we get even older, i hope we have so many memories of our youth, i hope we have so many stories to tell.
