It's ok to look at the world and feel hopeless
I mean - *gestures at everything
There are very real reasons to look outside and feel upset. And that everything is beyond our power to change. We are living very very hard times, with more hard times to come.
I'm a gen z. Maybe my generation is not destined to be happy. Happiness is for the people of tomorrow, for better people. It's too late for us. I wonder if all generations feel the same way one moment or the other. They surely do.
I'm curious to see where it all goes. But most importantly, I feel like I'm responsible to create something worth fighting for in the future. We all are responsible to fight for the things that are worth fighting now, and to create things worth fighting tomorrow.
For now maybe the best way to fight is to endure what is happening. And to make it possible for change to happen.
Edit: For further clarification on what I meant here. I was depressed, yeah, posted cringe of main.
But the point of this was a kind of reflection to stop chasing happiness. I don't know if I deserve to be happy, who am I to tell? I would be happy if happy happens, but in the meantime, in the meantime what? What to do that gives drive and purpose?
And here comes the 'leave something to be fought for' bit. Beyond an inheritance and real estate (hopefully), what do I leave behind when I'm gone?
I won't have control of that. And I won't care by then. But there were people that left something worth remembering. A book, an artwork, a piece of themselves. And this is the reflection I got here. To just see what happens next, and to leave something worth remembering behind.
