Our time — the moment we are in is only the beginning…
This is the story of my generation… Although multiple — this not these.
This is the story of intertwine. The story that represents my generation. The story that is forged not by one but from many. The story that represents the many identities, communities, and experiences that we represent.
The countless stories of pain-relieving seeking joy.
The sleepless nights of debt bogged worries.
The agony of co-dependence entrapment.
The wonder of peace and in endless search for its unknown promises and hope-fulfilling foundation.
The story of revolution not in hopes of iconoclastic status in history’s rapid waters that places new lenses on old actions based on the day’s zeitgeist…Indeed not, these are the stories of revolution seeking the peace we, me, I was robbed of. Robbed of previous generations greed, selfishness, platitudes, and ineptitudes. Robbed by the unrelenting and all-knowing decisionmaker minds, who acted with reckless abandon. Reckless Abandon not for the will of the people but for their very thoughts. Reckless abandon for the seeds and foundation of generations-gone dreams. Reckless abandon causing the Hughes for dreams deferred. Reckless abandon which could only lead to one outcome….
A generation that is unrelentingly uncompromising. A generation of rule-breakers and game changers. Not a generation of disruption but a generation of abruption and interruption. A generation that seeks not to pause the regularly scheduled program but seeks to walk-in on during its Kafkaesque Groundhog Day repetitive ebbs and flows. A generation that seeks to delouse itself of the plague carrying behavior and processes that created the world of pain, panic, poverty, and never-ending proception of horrors.
This is the story of the push and pull, never ending yin and yang tussle for hope, joy, peace, and finally the deliverance of yesterday’s promises for tomorrow. This is the story for not ending yet another chapter in the same book…but of yanking the book from the moving pen of the authors hands and starting anew.
This is the story to put into words and put pen to paper for the spirit of my generation for all to read. The story to re-write the history that has since been recorded but to write the present presenting history that is being written each day.
This is the story that will not follow the rules…A story that may end abruptly or change tenses or gears mid-stream. A story that requires the reader to stay engaged as the rules are that there are no solid rules. A story that seeks not to write the rules but to question the very principals once held dear and as immutable. The story in search and demands for deliverance of truth and justice. The story of oxymoronic norms and divisive saber wielding cancel culture. The story that both hated and loved by its creators and writers. The story that gives us hope despite being entrenched in fear paralleled only by the likes of the Faustian intrinsic ticking time clock.
This is the story of many….the story of every soul that calls out to another in hope…the story of my life…
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE WRITTEN STORY AND ROADMAP TO TRUIMP FOR THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION!
