Dear 20 Somethings... Shut Up

Please.

In the scope of the 10 million opportunities that our specific age group could seize at any given moment if we wanted to, if your unbelievably specific constellation of decision and circumstances are that bad, then adapt to the situation of, adjust the vision, and move on.

To be fair, i've experienced my fair share of frustrations with the quarter life obstacles, (education, jobs, relationships, money, recognition.) but i can't have another conversation with a friend who's just certain that the great black thumb of misfortune is pressed down hard on his specific and woeful life. Listen, we're as young, attractive, able and carefree as we're ever gonna be.

Prioritize. Whats most important? Relationships? Then quit working 80 hours a week to make money so as to afford more debt, get a job that pays bills, and build relationships. Maybe money is most important? (i may not agree, but no matter) Then quit complaining about not having time, and make your money.

We're the envy of old age and those not yet standing at the edge of full potential. Let's not waste time wanting more, less or something different. Work towards what you value and enjoy your time doing it.
