We are a generation coming into our adulthood in a time of great struggle - the wars offer a moral conundrum, the economy a financial one. In the face of these we are left with few choices - fail or to rise to the occasion and develop the only area we are left to strengthen - ourselves; the cultural and spiritual sides we develop now will carry us through our poverty, the utter confidence massacre that is the job market, our guilt at being unable to use our expensive college degrees, our confusion at what od o when you can't pay rent (answer; buy beer).
We will be scarred by this time - we will always try harder than we need to for fear that if we just try hard we will never make it. We will push our careers to our limits and beyond for fear that we will lose it if we don't. Our earth is dying in front of us, our friends are fighting for the unknown, and we are painting, writing poetry, and forming the seeds that will grow to save the culture we grew up in.
