*disguises overwhelming depression and the quiet terror of being alive as dank memes*

You know adult memes? Like memes your parents and grand parents post about on Facebook? Of, like, those Despicable Me minions and that old sarcastic grandma cartoon? Those are the most embarrassing memes.

To be honest I think America is just about unrepairable. In my earlier teens I thought that I would stay and fight. Be a politician, maybe. To try with the other members of my generation to fix the mess that this country has become (at the hands of baby boomers, thank you very much). But in the last few years this modern “american dream” has shifted from “Fixing this country” to “Leaving this country”. The new American dream is to make enough money and have enough education to leave. Its a topic, I’ve noticed, that kids talk about with dreamy looks on their faces. With hopeful tones and out of focus eyes. It’s something that some people don’t even dare talk about, as if mentioning their desire to flee the country would jinx them. It’s something that so many kids my age dream of. Moving to Canada or the Netherlands or Switzerland or New Zealand. Don’t you think, that when the American Dream is to escape, and that you have a generation of kids who have that as a main goal, that something is horribly wrong? 

I like the poetic-ness of whiny baby boomers crying about how millennials are ruining everthing like “millennials dont have brand loyalty, they’re promiscuous” and “millennials are so angry these days, they’re always protesting!” and “They’re not buying houses! They’re not buying diamonds! They’re ruining brick and mortar businesses” Like Yes, you wild millennials, rage into the night. Realize the nonvalue of meaningless objects, rebuild a digital social and economic dreamscape on the ashes of a crumbling old world economy. You wild new-age heathens, how dare you change the world in front of us!
