Optimism? Do you remember the entire grunge movement? GenX is full of apathy and pessimism. I still remember the day Kurt died, it was a defining moment in our lives.

Don’t come here trying to gaslight me. 50% of our country are hateful bigots, it’s pretty hard to avoid running into at least one every day.

Personal grooming and appearance matter. As much as I hate dress codes there is something about dressing professionally and looking nice that does give you a little boost in confidence.

The idea that two people can be compatible and never change for their entire lives is flawed in the first place.

Very good perspective and this is actually similar to some of the ideas of Buddhism. Everything in this life is temporary, enjoy it while it lasts.

Hell, I’m 46 and it’s really hard to not be cynical these days. I want to believe there’s still good people out there but I run into so many assholes.
