Sound familiar to you?
If you’ve ever encountered being told these words at least once (or twice, if we’re being realistic) in your life, then congratulations, because you probably belong to the generation that is so widely celebrated but heavily criticized by the generations that have come before you. A generation raised by the aftermath of its ancestors. A generation forced to embrace the impacts of an ever-changing global landscape. A generation coerced to pick up the shattered pieces born from past mistakes, in order to rebuild a future they cannot even fully secure yet. And somehow, at some point, these things have already been expected from the countless generations spanning centuries ago.
