A Letter From The Millennials

You are the next generation. You are the future. I have hopes for you, I have goals for you and I have wishes for you. As I'm sure you have your own hopes, goals and wishes. You will accomplish things that we could never imagine or hope to accomplish.

I hope that you grow up in a world where there's peace. I hope that you grow up in a world where terrorism ceases to exist, and where people love one another regardless of their differences. I hope you grow up in a world where people don't judge one another. I hope that people will treat their fellow human beings as just that - fellow human beings. I hope that you grow up in a world full of peace and love, not war and conflict.

You don't yet know the things you will accomplish. We live in a world where people are constantly trying new things. Technology and medicine are constantly changing. Fashion trends change like the tides. New movies come out weekly, new restaurants are opening left and right and new websites pop up every day. We live in a constantly changing world, and there will always be something new for you to try or accomplish. I hope you're not afraid to have an open mind and try new things. You can try as many thing as you want. You may not like everything you try, but you will regret not trying everything. Don't be afraid to take a chance. Don't be afraid of change. That one risk could be the thing that you fall in love with and change your life forever. I hope you know that you can accomplish anything that you want to.

I hope you're not afraid to dream big. We live in one big world. Always dream and hope and wish. Most importantly, don't let anyone stop you from dreaming and hoping and wishing. You can do anything you set your mind to. You can accomplish your goals. Make your dreams more than dreams; make them your reality.

My hope is that you grow up in a world that lets you do exactly that. I hope you grow up in a world where you can do anything. Don't let yourselves be known just as another generation. Make a name for yourselves. Be known and remembered. You can do anything.

Good luck and best wishes,

the previous generation

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
