I've been looking at memes the whole time, and I realised something:- older gens were so different to us. Like the fuck man they had dreams about being rich and having a loving spouse and children and a group of good friends and a good life. Gen Z, we're. . I don't know. We romanticise life. We don't have dreams, but when we think about life, it's cottagecore aesthetic trips and fruit juice or rose wine in glasses on a picnic and driving through a tunnel in complete darkness when Fireflies by Owl City is playing from the radio. We think about life, and it's kissing whoever the fuck we want, getting tattoos that mean something, going wild with hairstyles, drinking warm milk tea in little cafes and old yellowing books with dried roses or lavender pressed between the pages. We romanticise life, and that's depressing because when you romanticise something, you usually don't think it will ever happen.
