You deserve a better answer than “Whatever.”

We were the generation nobody worried about. Self-sufficient by necessity. Independent by default. We let ourselves in after school, figured things out on our own, and got so good at not needing anything from anyone that eventually we forgot we were allowed to.

We were cynical enough to see through the machine and responsible enough to work our asses off to succeed inside it anyway. We didn’t sell out exactly. We just did what we were supposed to. And somewhere between the college degree and the mortgage and the kids and the job we got good at but never actually loved, the life we imagined and the person we were going to be just quietly didn’t happen. We were handed the bill for everyone else’s choices and paid it without complaining.

It’s time to stop letting the days go by.
