Choice Of A Generation

Once upon a time media has labeled me and my generation many things. The first was 'Generation X' - a generation of slackers, misfits and lord knows what else. Basically we as a generation won't and/or can't amount to anything but low income earning people living off society. Yet somewhere in the midst we find a way to be part of the working class, success stories and even famous in a certain way for being a somebody - an original.

The few that succeed are inherited custodians of the generation before us - cleaning up the messes and mistakes of those who labeled us in the first place. At a certain point of our lives some of us value career over starting a family. Meanings of the traditional roles are being redefined by the opposite gender. We are the generation who put a crack in the infamous 'glass ceiling' for our sisters.

Yet at times we prefer to act half our age but with careers. For those who with e-fame and certain celeb status, I ask what defines us and separates us from everyone else. A select of the smart ones prefer being under the Twitter radar and other 'trends' from cyberspace. Not all of us choose to be attention whores or sell outs towards a certain product.

As a voice we are expressive pioneers of those who want to listen and think, rebels of conformity to make a difference. Idealist architects of tomorrow change is our birthright, just like the generation before us. Upon the many things of which I'm solely passionate about, it would be the generation that I am part of. Not all of us are born to inspire but I hope that this blog has helped do that to those who need it.
