    I am late Gen X/cusp Millennial and highly identify with what the author wrote, though I do lack the experience of having formative years with a cell.

    My hopes and wishes are garbage and my existence and experiences are not important to anyone except to keep me fed until I age out of working and die.

      I’m (37m)/Elder Millennial.

      My Brother(27)and Father(64) are dead and my Mother (65), ran away to live in Arizona near my aunt.

      Said Aunt, outta the blue after not texting or calling me since last March, says my mum’s forgetting where she is and is falling and I need to visit soon to sign papers. “Adulting is needed”. I replied with a bare minimum effort 👍

      I’m unemployed and living off my savings.

      Honestly boomers can fuk off.

      Litterly want me to do everything for them.

      I worked in food service for 20 years and COVID taught me how trash my life is and how I’m worth nothing. I always paid my rent and bills and that’s it.

      On top of that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 6 months before COVID even hit here.

      I’m basically bed bound and disabled with fibromyalgia myself BTW. Barely can take care of my cats+myself.

      I’ll just send them my thoughts and prayers.

      I Apologize in advance.

      1. Yea I’m on meds.
      2. My next therapy session is next Thursday. But I felt the need to vent.
