  1. " choose our own paths or not, it will all end the same." But it doesn't. I just turned 40, and NOTHING, EVER, NOT ONCE has been predicted correctly by me. However you think it will end, that's NOT how it will end. If you can predict that, life just got amazing for you because you're now a billionaire with your future prediction powers. Let me prove it: I believe in you. Bet you didn't predict your path would go THIS way, being cheered on and validated by a successful older person. Looks like the wonder is back in your world, and don't fuckin forget it.

  2. 40 year old millennial here, And it's the same 'up here'. I'm a great listener, so I'm somewhat quiet in groups, but no one is talking anymore. I miss deep, real conversations too.

  3. I have a LOT of older gen friends, and I was at a meeting last night just listening into random conversation groups, and all the talk was around stuff I and people younger than me, I'm 40, have no relation to: how are your kids, how are their kids, how is your family, how is work oh wait you retired, how's that, did you see that thing that happened last week, who was part of that, oh really him how ARE they.... It was real interested discussion about each other's life, about stuff none of us seem to care about anymore. They sit and talk (and drink) for hours, about nothing, daily, IN PERSON.

  4. I used to think as a Millennial, we were a generation without purpose, then I realized no, we have an IMMENSE purpose: We're a maintenance worker generation, we're here as the permanent 'middle child' endlessly caring for the failing Boomers/Genx-ers above us, and caring for the lost Zoomers behind us. Just like I'm 40 and caring for my ailing 83 year old dad, AND helping out my younger siblings in their 20s and 30s. Meanwhile I'm alone, lonely, and totally lost. But there's no one left to take care of US.

  5. As a fellow Elder Millennial, 40, you're WELCOME for all the work we HAVE DONE in the world FOR YOU Zoomers.

  6. Exactly. Just turned 40, doing a lot of thinking, I realized I have no clue what I even want in a person. ALL I know for sure, the absolute base reality bedrock truth I do know, the one thing I can say without compromise or deception, being absolutely open and honest: I WANT TO BE WANTED Everything else is extra.
