Are We Like Our Parents, Millennials?
Today, our millennial generation is moving in and our parent’s generation is moving out. We are bursting with forward-thinking, progressive, and empowered individuals and families — filled with more optimism than ever before.
We are prospering with hard-working, compassionate and empathetic neighbors who live all around us.
We are seeing this play out in all corners of the country — whether it be our personal, professional or political arenas. And that’s a good thing.
Our generation talks to one another. All of this dialogue is happening around the clock. We no longer limit our neighborly conversations to weekends — or weekdays — when we’re home before 9 am and back after 5 pm. We no longer go out of our way to keep our exchanges to a minimum.
We know there’s a reason why people choose to live on the same street or in the same apartment building as us. We might as well get to know our neighbors and find out why.
We make an effort to go out of our way to help our fellow residents when in need. We volunteer our lawn mower when their lawn mower breaks. Or, we watch their pets while they’re away on vacation because they’ve watched ours.
We like to greet (almost) everyone we see — whether the store clerk, the town police officer or a stranger walking by us.
