USian ‘90s born:
9/11 before kindergarten, watched it on live TV.
Increasing school shootings year over year
Incessant racism by paranoid family members and media writ large (which made even little me feel icky)
2008 Great Recession. Constant fear of where my next meal was coming from all through middle school.
More school shootings
Was supposed to idolize a man who dumped drone bombs on foreign kids because at least he wasn’t Bush. Still wondered why we had troops in the Middle East if things were supposed to be better?
At least equal marriage was federally legalized in 2015. Yay
Missed the deadline to vote in 2016 due to moving issues, had to watch hell happen in real time.
Lived in a major city, therefore in constant fear of nuclear holocaust due to a deranged rapist not keeping his mouth shut. After growing up in fear of anthrax in the mail and getting gunned down at school :)))
Told that college was the only way I’d make anything of myself. Graduated into COVID.
Watched reproductive rights get ripped away from millions after my family scoffed that they wouldn’t. My own grandmother had bodily rights longer than I did.
Been pinching my nose and voting consistently since 2018, but still see fascism come roaring back full swing and transphobia+racism+now pedophilia get openly celebrated by a majority of rubes.
Plus a ton of my own health issues that only worsened after getting COVID (and that’s with the vaccine, I fear for what would have happened without it)? Yeah, I’m waiting to get off the ride but refuse to do it myself out of spite.
I want to see the obituaries of at least a few of these bastards, first.
I just wrote my experience, but you gave a lot of details. Exactly!
2008 was terrible because we had the age to understand what was happening but not the tools to live through it healthily. My anxiety was through the roof. My health got so much worse.
I also didn't vote the first time I could here in my country due to moving issues, attentional issues, etc. Life was hectic and I had no time (no brain) to get my ID, honestly, lol.
COVID's lockdowns were a relief to me, I have to admit. I was so fed up of going outside, of 'masking' my obvious problems and differences (e.g., ADHD), etc. I was failing miserably. Zoom calls were a lot easier, still are.
I hope you get better from the long COVID. I'm guessing you're neurodivergent too. Take good care of yourself, psychologically, physically... We need it.
