"gen z is aging like milk!" "gen z is a bunch of snowflakes!" "gen z is trying to cancel eminem!" pleaseeeee, anyone who actually generalizes an entire group of people based on them being born within a 15 year span of each other, go outside immediately. interact with people offline. I'm begging you.
specifically so tired of this "gen z is aging like milk!" conversation where the comments just turn into a circlejerk of people being like "I'm 57 and look like a 16 year old actually haha these gen z kids look even older than me!" and that belief being affirmed by others saying the same thing in their own comments. I would say most people probably look their age. some look younger and some look older due to environmental or genetic factors, and that's okay. its okay to age prematurely, it's also okay to look middle aged when you're middle aged. I don't look like a teenager anymore because I'm not a teenager, and I would not want to look like a teenager lol
the whole conversation just reeks of projecting your insecurities around aging onto others. and I don't mean anyone who has been told that they look young is insecure because there are people that do of course, but the ones that try to put people down to make themselves feel better need to get a grip
anyway, rant over. just be happy to be gifted life and the privilege to age, not everyone gets to. we are all living on this beautiful planet together just trying to survive. cut the person who maybe has some premature aging some slack, they might be going through something causing it. just be more empathetic, we need it in the world right now Ā š«¶

Went to a concert last weekend and the bands kept bringing up how āoldā we were in our 30ās and 40ās, like the next stop is the nursing home or something.
Also, when hanginā out with the āwhipper snappersā in their 20ās, we donāt need to comment on how āoldā we are in comparison.
Like fuuuuck yāall letās save that āoldā talk for our 70ās and 80ās!!

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to

"yap" about the things that interest you all you want; enjoy your hobbies and pour your heart into them, stop worrying about if what you're into is "cringe"; if your friends don't like your hobbies/interests and put you down for enjoying them, find people that will; surround yourself with people you love who love you back and you will be so much happier than the people that are so quick to put others down for pursuing their happiness
