As of late, the Millennial generation has been reining in a lot of heat: both positive and negative as all things seemingly go. A certain presidential candidate is inching their way towards the gold? It's the millennials. The LGBT community is becoming more immersed into our society? It's the millennials. Gas prices are skyrocketing? By golly, it has to be the millennials. We'll take the blows and praise, that's fine, but watch how we grow from them both.
We are a generation of change. We have altered and shifted things to our liking. We transformed the Internet into something that was merely leisurely into something that is almost as accessible as oxygen. We redirected the ways in which we are taught, the goal for higher education becoming something as a common route. We enhanced the sound of music. We bent it and worked it beneath our fingertips to provide things our ears had never tasted before. We redefine words, modifying them to align with our slang, our need, our growing culture of youth.
We have built towers so high that with a slight glance they crumble beneath our own soles. We have assembled riots, protests, armies of willful bodies who crave nothing more than to hold their truths tight and raise their beliefs above, to be heard and seen by the world. We have been rejected, degraded and cast aside by those who have shown us our culture in order to transfix our gaze on the bigger picture, an alternate route in which the destination is simply another stepping stone. We have surpassed awareness and demanded answers for the things deemed "that's just the way it is," and not only smothering them with luminescent principle, but ushering them onto our own shoulders. We have created concrete establishments for ourselves amongst the populations, setting our ways and grinding out our history for future reminiscing.
We have fought, bickered, screeched, bellowed, wept, yearned, missed, lost, sang, leapt, soared and triumphed. We are a generation of revolutionizing the things passed on to us. We are a generation in which the word "change" is an idea in which we practice so heavily it is a religion of our own. We have reached for the stars only to pass outside our own galaxy and find inspiration amongst the unknown. We are young and dumb, kind and lazy, genuine and hateful, raw and passionate, but we are here for the long haul. We are here to be taught about in history books hundreds of years from now and to be remembered for the tidal wave of utter diversification and development. We are to be watched for we will surpass any expectation lain before us. So hand over your burdens and problems that are seemingly unsolvable. We will gift you with an answer, and if not, we will grapple with the struggle of finding one until our graves.
