twix away.
Young people know that their material life
will not be better than their parents'," Apter says. "They don't expect a safer life than their parents had. They don't expect more secure employment or finances. They have to put in a lot of work just to remain O.K." Tough love may look like the answer, but it's not what twixters need.
- i could break down on this one. i feel like a wee little sensitive one that just needs compassion and encouragement because i just don't know what's next.
by my age, my parents were married, pregnant and in texas with a job they loved. by my age my brother and wife had one child and one on the way, in colorado. i feel behind, but i know i'm not. i feel cultural pressure and it can be suffocating. many times i want to just hide in my room (my childhood room as it may be with floral border and yellow walls) and ask everyone to stop with the pressure to "grow up", get married, find some job that is impressive and... succeed. but hiding in my room won't get me anywhere. it's merely receding. So i do what i can. even if it doesn't make money, unrealistic as it may be, because the work is what heals me. i've said this many times and my dad said it again recently, "i feel God's pleasure when i run" as said by what's his name in Chariots of Fire. I feel God's pleasure when i do the work that He puts me in. And i'm desperate to do it more, but sometimes it doesn't make money, sometimes it's not impressive..... so i try and stay a float. and do what i can to... well, grow up, with work, with love, with education, family, friends....
i guess Peter Pan needs to move on.... i'm not going to re-read this because i'll probably edit down to little to nothing... so... here it is. my heart on "paper". tear it up.
