You. Are. Worth it. 

Even when it doesn’t seem so, you are worth every single bit of energy that anyone has ever invested into you- lies are readily accessible, so let me be the first to tell you the truth. Contrary to what you might have been told you are no poisoned youth. No disease to the descendants of the baby boom, this country was in shambles long before you. 

I’m sorry, but I simply don’t understand why the younger generation has to suffer under the excuse of second nature. Why everytime a crooked politician conducts themselves outside of the constitutional code of conduct the question is always what is wrong with this generation? Don’t you know that seeds fertilized in hate are still destined to grow. 

Mark Twain once said that history does not simply repeat itself, rather it rhymes. So maybe that’s why social media turned everyone antisocial, maybe be that’s why congratulations you’re in turn into thousands of dollars worth of debt, maybe that’s why mental health was fashioned into a fashion trend. If you follow the path society sets for you, I’m telling you it will end in failure- not at the expense of others, but at the expense of yourself. An educated mind is the most dangerous thing there will ever be, so instead of focusing on being the famed change, focus on being the best version of yourself. 

You were born in this world you didn’t make it, so don’t allow yourself to be berated for situations you’ve never created. I know it’s hard for some of you, probably for a lot of you to know that the only thing you will ever be able to fully control is you. I know y’all are dealing with a lot so please don’t carry the weight of the worlds issues on your shoulders too. Don’t despair in your sorrows, take stock of your tomorrows, and understand the worlds grief- but take time to find internal peace.
