I hate how things are nowadays.

Being GenZ is weird because you hear all the older people talk about how peaceful and happy the 90's and early 2000's were but you have no memory of it.

You hear all the older folks talk about how safe it was. You hear them talk about being happy the cold war and troubles were over. Everyone talks about how everything kept getting better.

One of your parents will mention living with a friend in a three bedroom house while both of them worked 20 hours a week and then had enough money to go out clubbing on both Friday and Saturday. Meanwhile you realise you couldn't afford a 1 bedroom flat even if you settled down with someone who also worked full time. You grow up seeing everything around you slowly fade away as your country slowly becomes nothing but a broken economic zone for foreign investors to pick clean.

You live your whole life like an Italian peasant in the early post-Rome days. Deep down you know your civilisation has already peaked and you're living in a society those before you would deem to be near post-apocalyptic and dystopian.

I know something is missing and idk if I'll ever find it.
