First of all, it isn't "my" generation. I was never a part of it, I never filled out the paperwork to join. Seriously, I never felt in at school or with other people my age. I've only started to now that everyone is starting to grow the f--- up. And I guess it isn't "my" generation so much as it is the one before me, the people who are 5 or 10 years older than me. It seems like their definition of living is just a mess. Not really seeking much from life, just going through the motions. Work just to get your money, then drug yourself with booze or something else until you can't feel the noose around your neck. Even the idea of having a family seems to be dying, because that would actually mean having responsibility. I'm just wondering what happened? Where the f--- did all this conformity come from? And I guess this pertains to "my" generation because I can see the writing on the wall. College is a training post for the new conformity. Nothing sums up conformity better than working to get a certificate of your value in the workplace, then getting trashed or stoned on the weekend to forget how f---ing dull it is. My hope is just that my age group, the age group of many of the people on this site (which is younger than mine) are really more of a transition point than anything. I tend to think that conformity is unsustainable, that eventually there is enough discontent bubbling beneath the surface that eventually it can't be stopped. So for those of you reading this, I guess I would say I have high hopes for you. Don't ever accept the world as it is, because as long as you are here, it can be anything you want it to be.

It does seem as the American dream is dying, but there are people trying to get by and look towards the future, preparing for it.
Almost anything is possible.... -
Yup, I agree with you both. Just be yourself, an individual, and screw the world. I'm not willing to conform to it.

Honestly, I thought about you a little as I was writing the back end of this. I really hope there are more people like you out there.
