Stay here.

So, I've noticed a rising trend in my generation.

We all hate thinking about the future.

I think I know why that is too.

So far, life has been pretty rough...for all of us.  School has only gotten more competitive, the internet has forced social exchange on everyone, and parents are becoming more and more careless by the day.

Whether you're living in South Brooke or somewhere in inner city Decatur...this generation is suffering from far too many things to keep life straight anymore.

Life is hard.  That's all we know.  While we're aware that the future can be better, we're not necessarily convinced that it will be.  That's why we're keeping it right here...in the present.  We can't think about the past.  We're all too busy to remember the good times.  Our good times are so few and far between that, if we didn't write them down in a journal or blog about them, they might be lost forever. 

It's sort of disheartening, the way we live.

Yes, we're lazier...but we have all the reason in the world to not trust what lies ahead of us.  We don't think straight because, even when we try our hardest, our 1 + 1 attitude won't always get us a 2.  Understand me, people?  Things that were supposed to make sense...because they made sense with every generation before us...have no structure to us.  Life becomes one big line when you have nothing to base it off of.

Listen...I'm not saying that we have nothing to look forward to...just that the lives we're all leading won't get us where we want to go...if we even know where we want to go.  Most of us are clueless on that one too.

Thoughts?

Suggestions?

Concerns?
