Doesn't it feel good to be a fully functioning adult who grew up with a normal childhood, instead of a screen-to-face glued zombie who grew up nonverbal and dancing in front of cameras because that's what they think love is? Maybe I'm just in a bitter mood today, sorry Gen Z, not trying to scathingly slander you too much. But seriously, they are absolutely doomed forever. How are they supposed to find love and a relationship when they think flirting is liking a photo on Instagram? How are they even supposed to be satisfied with a job or partner when there's always the next technological, or entrepreneurial thing right around the corner?

We grew up bicycling till sunset, Beanie Babies, Nirvana, and being dressed in overalls and Aristocats clothing. We really had it the best. We had some technology, but not too much, and not to the point where we would ever be too into it to not go outside and play with our friends. Growing up, I loved playing video games, but educational ones like Reader Rabbit. Kids these days have already melted their brains and ability to think coherently and without static going on during the silences between internal monologues.
